I took several courses on WWI, WWII ,and the interwar period. My teachers all had the same narrative about how anti-Semitism shaped the policies of many nations. It was also described as evil and counter-productive. The teachers also taught us, through reading the textbooks, that nearly every Communist revolution that occurred during this time was led by an orthodox or Zionist Jew.
I simply pointed out the obvious; that Nazi Germany was the only group described as evil for fighting against Communist Jews. The history is very clear on the threat of Communism and the destruction it has caused over more than a century. An understanding of pre-WWI and WWII history makes the chapters on Nazi Germany much more clear. Of course, I can only speak for myself.
