Abstract:
Agrees with Gershom Scholem that a German-Jewish symbiosis never existed. Since the Holocaust there has only been a negative symbiosis, like that between the executioner and his victim. With the passage of time, and the advance of historical research, more details become known and the "forgetfulness" of the Germans arouses Jewish anger. Claims that Germans' comparison of the Lebanon War with Nazi atrocities is an attempt to erase their guilt for the Holocaust. Young Germans evince ambiguous feelings towards their parents as well as towards the victims.
