Antisemitism not a German tradition? And the pogroms of the First Crusade (11th century)? Martin Luther (16th Century)? Bach's "St. John" and "Saint Matthew" Passions (18th century)? the Oberammergau "Passion Play?" And if "Blut und Boden" was not an affirmation of tradition, how could Hitler's Reich have been the *Third* Deutsches Reich?
