Abstract:
Hostility toward the Jews, associated with antagonism toward the USA, gained great popularity in Spain during World War II. This hostility was based on the influence of French Catholic antisemitism and on Spanish conservatism, which saw the USA as representing liberalism and Protestantism. Literary circles, rightist parties, and various sectors of the Church and the army accused the Jews of leading the USA into the war, destroying Western Christian values through the film industry, using the power of the USA to conquer places rich in commodities, such as the Middle East and South America, and dominating world finance and commerce. With the end of the war and the discovery of the horrors of the Holocaust, these views were limited exclusively to the extreme right, which then focused its hostility toward the Jews on denouncing the Zionist enterprise.
