The non-antisemitic personality’s conformity can rival the antisemite’s

Evidence

Incidentally, the ideal of `achievement’ which plays so vast a role in the psychological household of the non-antisemitic girls seems to me as indicative of dangerous conformism as any of the traits you pointed out with regard to the high Antisemites. In other words, I doubt whether the difference of opinion can be translated into ultimate differences of personality structures. This, however, is a heretic statement meant only for ourselves and decidedly off the record. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 401
