OPINION: 'We believe it is the moral duty of all Americans to repudiate such thinking and rid themselves of any ambivalence about poisonous narratives like Holocaust denial,' write Tucsonans Stuart H. Brody and Jonathan R. Slater.
Currently featured at the International Jewish Film Festival sponsored by the Tucson Jewish Community Center is Philippe Le Guay’s evocative film, “The Man in the Basement.” Simon Sandberg, a Jewish apartment building owner in contemporary France, is duped into selling his cellar as storage space to former history teacher Jacques Fonzic, a seemingly innocuous old man. Fonzic however takes up residence in the cellar, and Sandberg soon learns the old man is an inveterate Holocaust-denier.
When Sandberg erupts in violence after Fonzic foists his disingenuous guise on his daughter, Sandberg is arrested, embarrassing his family and earning the condemnation of his ineffectual lawyer. This episode prompted one audience member in the post-film discussion to observe that the only person who lost his cool was the Jew.
Judaism is often narrowcast as a faith, a preposterous affront to the reality laid bare by Hitler’s racialization of culture. The Jew haters of Charlottesville in 2017, whom Donald Trump characterized as “good people,” yelling “Jews will not replace us” were not thinking of Jews as a religious threat, but rather echoing Hitler’s epithet of Jews as a racial menace.
