Description
The Holocaust became a subject of satire and pornography in the 1980s.Looking at the historical origins of the image of the 'perverse Jew', shows that it dates back many centuries. The film director and columnist, Theo van Gogh was the master at linking the perverse Jew to the Holocaust. He had many admirers and some followers took a similarly pornographic approach to Muslims calling them 'goat fuckers', all in the name of defending absolute freedom of speech, and later, of combating the threat of the 'multicultural society'.The main themes of this chapter are the right of free speech and political incorrectness, projected onto the image of 'the Jew'.
