Director Steven Spielberg warned that "overt" anti-Semitism in the United States mirrors that of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, leading up to the systematic extermination of six million Jews in the Holocaust.
"I find it very, very surprising," Spielberg told late-night host Stephen Colbert in an interview aired Friday.
"Anti-Semitism has always been there," he said. "It's either been just around the corner and slightly out of sight but always lurking, or it has been much more overt like in Germany in the '30s."
Spielberg lost relatives in the Holocaust and used his profits from the film "Schindler's List" to form the non-profit Shoah Foundation to document Holocaust survivors' testimonies.
"But not since Germany in the '30s have I witnessed anti-Semitism no longer lurking, but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini, kind of daring us to defy it," he warned in "The Late Show" interview. "I've never experienced this in my entire life, especially in this country.
"Somehow in 2014, 2015, 2016, hate became a kind of membership to a club that has gotten more members than I ever thought was possible in America," he said. "And hate and anti-Semitism go hand in hand; you can't separate one from the other."

It’s intense. And true
Those stats come from the ADL, and they're inherently flawed.
Certain groups are more likely to report bias crimes. Jews and gays are very politically sophisticated, and are most likely to report even minor incidents.
By contrast, illegal immigrants, mostly Latinos, are more likely to live in the shadows and avoid the police. If they suffer a minor bias incident, many won't even know it was a "hate crime."
And whites are less likely to report a bias crime simply because it doesn't even occur to us that if someone shouts an anti-white slur, it's a bias crime.
And if whites do report a bias crime, it's less likely to get classified as a bias crime than if a black, Jew, gay Muslim, etc. reported the same crime.
I once had black youth drive slowly by me in a car late one night. I feared I might get mugged. Then one of them shouted "white trash" and they drove off. Technically a bias crime if they had shouted an anti-Jewish or gay remark. But I was just glad I wasn't mugged. I didn't report it, and only much later realized that I was a victim of a "hate crime."
If every white reported every such incident, and if it was treated the same as if it had happened to any other group, the stats would show a far higher incidence of anti-white hate crimes. And probably anti-Christian hate crimes.
Not just black demonrats. Anyone who talks about the world wide Jewish financial conspiracy is getting that from The Chronicles of the Elders of Zion. That stuff is all over Gab.com.
They actually teach anti-white hate in the classrooms. And in the extra-curricular programs. Anti-white hate is officially sanctioned in universities. Can't say that for any other group (except perhaps for Christians and hetero men).
Hell, I believe the Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats hate everyone except other white Democrats.
I’m America First also, but not an Isolationist.
His politics are driving it.
“Steven Spielberg warns ‘overt’ anti-Semitism in U.S. as bad as 1930s Nazi Germany”-hyperbole
Right Rabinical Judaism was created in 70 AD.
Romans 11.
He is just pissed no one wanted to watch his autobiography.
It’s not anti Semitic. It’s tedium.
Translation: "It is Trump's fault."
I’m for Israel, but against all foriegn aid.
I am in my seventies, was an orphaned German immigrant brought to the US when I was six years old. I honestly can say I have absolutely no idea if I have ever come across a person that is Jewish. Been in 4 countries, 8 US States and you would think I would have had some type of dealing some time, some where, But nope I haven't. They must be a group of very normal people to meld in so well.
He’s having an out of mind experience!
Then tell your fellow DEMOCRAT Jews to stop trying to DESTROY ALL THE GOOD IN America!
You RUINED Disney, Hollywood, schools, the Justice department, etc......TELL THEM!
SHUN George soros, Merrick Garland, Randi Weingarten and Eisner!
The truth Spielberg will never deal with!
His feet would catch fire..
He isn’t singling out a given political bent to the anti-Semites which is telling. He doesn’t want to flat out say who is attacking Jews in the street in places like Williamsburg.
