...19th century to the end of World War II, reaching from France in the west, through Germany and Central Europe, to Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. Hannah Arendt identified antisemitism as the common denominator of fascism and communism, but it also inspired many nationalist parties, until Hitler channeled its energy to consolidate the Third Reich. The use of the Jews as a political target was symptomatic of a fear of democracy in all its aspectsindividual rights, a competitive economy, and the freedoms of an open society. Because antisemitism was directed against the Jews, it didnt overly concern most other people. Some...
...Durban, the behavior of some in the NGO forum was contemptible. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were on sale; flyers asking (approvingly) WHAT IF HITLER HAD WON? were freely displayed. In more than one place in its rambling, incoherent, 474-paragraph-long "Declaration," the forum declared Israel to be a "racist, apartheid state." (The full text of the declaration is available at www.racism.org.za I urge readers to look at it.) Michael Salberg, a New York City attorney attending the conference as an observer for the Anti-Defamation League, says of the forum, "There is no way to have...

And it has gone through the same, now obligatory seal-of-approval process as Ryan: screenings for real live veterans who emerged to say, They got it. This is what it really looked like. If you believe that is all the praise a war story needs, Brothers...
...Barbie Museum. That would be a roadside attraction devoted not to the immortal doll but to the vicious Nazi Klaus Barbie. Not to worry, though, the befuddled Jewish family (with Jon Lovitz as its addled patriarch and Kathy Najimy his bemused wife) makes its escape in style--in Hitler's onetime touring car. Best of all, there's Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Pollini, a good-natured Italian immigrant struggling hilariously with his nonnative language and with the narcolepsy that overtakes him at crucial moments. He's what Roberto Benigni would be if he knew how to play for laughs instead...
