Abstract:
Although Fassbinder does not make use of traditional antisemitic Jewish stereotypes in his films, his Jewish characters are nevertheless presented in a stereotypical way. They are cold, aloof, intellectual, and arrogant, and are not included among the suffering victims whose causes Fassbinder has adopted. In his films, relationships of love or friendship with Jews always have a fatal outcome. As a result, his allegorizations convey a new kind of antisemitic cliché.
