No invented tradition has been claimed for anti-antisemitic struggle

Evidence

In this fragmented and seemingly tenuous struggle, no tradition, no antecedents, appear to have been claimed, none seem to be found-not even an ‘invented’ or an ‘imagined’ tradition. There are the survivors, of course (I will have to return to that), but the history of the Holocaust is not the whole, only the culmination, of the history of antisemitism, and it does not seem to teach us much about the struggle against it. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1199

Categorization

• DEFINE: Invokes Hobsbawm’s ‘invented tradition’ concept to test anti-antisemitism’s genealogy and finds it empty.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: is there truly no invented tradition, or has it just not been narrated that way? And what did survivors’ own remembrance supply that a tradition claim did not?
