‘Chilling Stuff’: Warning Sounded for Once-Unthinkable Concept of U.S. Holocaust

A prominent Washington editor has taken to his own publication’s pages to issue a warning about an American Holocaust.

He cites an author’s speculation that given some horrific national disaster, Americans, already triggered by racist rhetoric, could turn bad.

“It is chilling stuff, partly because the subject is so inherently ghastly but also because radical changes in the U.S. since the 1980s make it a country lamentably unrecognizable to many of its citizens,” Gurdon wrote. “God forbid that a Holocaust of Jews is likely in America either soon or ever.

“A Jewish friend, as level-headed an analyst as you could hope for, told me, ‘I never worried until this year, but now I can visualize it happening, the course of events.
