The reviewer argues that the Nazis ratcheted up their antisemitism by attaching the evil ideology of Bolshevism to Jews. The reviewer himself hates Bolshevism, maintaining the standard anticommunist line. For example, he criticizes the book under review because it "arguably pays too little attention to the crimes of Stalin’s regime." And he somehow knows, without evidence, that "Many, if not most, Soviet citizens, united against a common enemy, pushed away memories of their own regime’s brutality."
In short, the article is anticommunist crap, standard practice for The New York Review of Books. And no surprise at who misrepresents it here. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
