Also wrote, but back in 1946:
"that Jewish brand of chauvinism automatically produced by secularization, which somehow persuades the average de-Judaized Jew, that although he no longer believes in a God who chooses or rejects, he is still a superior being simply because he happened to be born a Jew — the salt of the earth — or the motor of history" 2

In this documentary movie, made in Israel about a genre of Israeli Holocaust porn based on American '50s men's magazine covers and war pulp fiction, one of the persons interviewed states that some Holocaust survivor's eyewitness testimony at the Eichmann trial was influenced by the Stalags stories they'd read confirming Hannah Arendt's thesis that "they could rarely distinguish between what had happened to them, and what they'd read, and heard, and imagined in the meantime."
