Passion at Oberammergau
- Abstract
This summer, if all goes as expected, some 400,000 people will travel to Oberammergau in Bavaria to watch the spectacle of Christ’s being reviled and sent to his death by the Jews. In a period of reviving anti-Semitism, brought finally to public attention by the defacing of synagogues, the visitors to Oberammergau will see, under highly emotional circumstances, a play in which the synagogue is a rallying point for evil and in which the Jewish people accept gleefully for themselves and their children blood-guilt for the murder of the Christian savior.
“To the cross with him! To the cross!” cry the Jewish people. “He dies on the cross. Hail Israel! The enemy is overthrown! His death is our safety! We are freed! Long live, long live the synagogue.”
