  • Summary

    This chapter examines the resurgence and reinvention of antisemitism in Western Europe in the aftermath of World War II. To understand why anti-antisemitism became a distinctive philosophical, theological, and political project requires attention to the resilience of Judeophobia in the late 1940s and 1950s. Although unrepentant Nazis, former pro-German collaborators, or traditionalist Catholics transgressed the taboo, the delegitimation of antisemitism in the public arena also forced Judeophobia to take cover behind favorable views of Jews: Tactical philosemitism in occupied Germany and the early Federal Republic is a case in point.

  • Summary

    This chapter traces the way that Jews have been depicted in French literature from the 18th century to the present, including writers such as Voltaire, Balzac, Céline, and Proust. It examines both negative (antisemitic) and positive (philosemitic) representations of Jews, arguing that the ambivalence surrounding the figure of the Jew reflects a larger ambivalence toward the various ideas that Jews represent.
