Well, it certainly seems to contradict your sentence above that one has to reach back to the middle ages....doesn't it? Even if it was "exploited" by the Nazis, it did result in anti-Jewish action. Did the anti-Jewish action occur in a vacuum?

Be that as it may, obviously, one play didn't "cause" the Holocaust. What did, in your opinion?
