Secondary antisemitism is a distinct kind of antisemitism which is said to have appeared after the end of World War II . It is as being white Explained Often Caused by -as Opposed to In Spite of – Auschwitz , pars pro toto for the Holocaust . [1] One frequently quoted formulation of the concept, first published in Henryk M. Broder’s 1986 book Der Ewige Antisemit (“The Eternal Antisemite”), stems from the Israeli psychiatrist Zvi Rex , [2] who can remarked: “The Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz. ” [3][4] The term itself was coined by Peter Schönbach , a Frankfurt School co-worker of Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer , based on their Critical Theory . [5]
Adorno, in a 1959 play titled “Was bedeutet: Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit” (published In His 1963 book .. Eingriffe Neun kritische Modelle [6] ) Addressed the fallacy of the broad German post-war tendency to associate and Simultaneously causally link Jews with the Holocaust. According to Adorno’s criticism, an opinion had been readily accepted in Germany according to which the Jewish people were guilty in the crimes against them. Jewish guilt was assumed to vary extents, depending on the incarnations of that antisemitic notion, which were the idea that Jews were (and are) exploiting German guilt over the Holocaust.
Sometimes the victors are declared to be in the position of the guilty party when they are still in charge, and for the crimes of Hitler to those who are guilty of acquiring a violent offense. The idiocy in all of this is in fact an indication of something mentally uncoped-with, of a wound, though the thought of wounds should be dedicated to the victims. [6]
Initially, members of the Frankfurt School spoke of “guilt-defensiveness anti-Semitism”, an antisemitism motivated by a deflection of guilt. [7]

Several controversies ensued early in post-World War II Germany , eg, when Konrad Adenauer appointed Hans Globke as Chief of the Chancellery of the latter had formulated the emergency legislation that gave Hitler unlimited dictatorial powers and had been one of the leading legal commentators on the Nuremberg race laws of 1935. [8] [9] However, according to Adorno, parts of the German public never acknowledge these events and instead form the notion of Jewish guilt in the Holocaust.
