Summary: Did you hear the one about the Jewish gal who was married to a Nazi? How about the sorrowful dad who disowned his Nazi son after Charlottesville? Or the one about "edgy" podcasters who went from making dark Holocaust jokes to humorlessly advocating for a second Holocaust? Pure comedy.

They also begin a conversation, to be continued through the next few episodes, about the origins and persistence of anti-Semitism.<br><br>“Birth of a White Supremacist” by Andrew Marantz, The New Yorker, 2017<br><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/16/birth-of-a-white-supremacist" rel="noopener">https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/16/birth-of-a-white-supremacist</a><br><br>Optional:<br>“Threatening Jewish Prosperity” by Steve Sailer, Taki’s, 2017<br><a href="http://takimag.com/article/threatening_jewish_prosperity_steve_sailer/print#axzz50zOK3Qyj" rel="noopener">http://takimag.com/article/threatening_jewish_prosperity_steve_sailer/print#axzz50zOK3Qyj</a><br><br>“Enemies of My Enemy” by Kevin Macdonald, The Occidental Quarterly, 2004<br><a href="http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/benderskyrev.htm" rel="noopener">http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/benderskyrev.htm</a><br><br>Let us know what you think: <a href="mailto:essayquestionspodcast@gmail.com">essayquestionspodcast@gmail.com</a>
