Abstract:
Discusses the antisemitism predominant in Spain between 1931-45 as a specific brand, a fusion of the traditional Christian deicidal anti-Judaism with the modern theory of the Jewish conspiracy based on the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" (published in five Spanish editions in 1931), with no racial overtones. States that all of the anti-liberal Spanish Right - such as Catholic movements, the Falange, conservative intellectuals, as well as the leaders of the nationalist movement - shared the antisemitic interpretation of history, that of the Christian and cultural Hispanicity opposing the Jewish-Freemason-communist world danger. Judaism was an abstract ideological danger, while Freemasonry, communism, capitalism, and liberalism were its tangible instruments. also discusses Spain's treatment of Jews during the Holocaust: illegal refugees were interned in the Miranda del Ebro camp until evacuation by the Allies; legal transit was in most cases denied even to Sephardic Spanish nationals from Greece and France facing deportation to Nazi concentration camps, while their properties remained under Spanish patrimony.
