after the onto-theo-logical constitution of the Holocaust

---

The early 20th century mandarins of German academia unwittingly rational-
ized Catholic capitalism: the “onto-“ of pretentious German power.

Holy Roman Catholicism unwittingly rationalized antisemitism: the “-theo-.“
of scapegoating.

Catholic capitalism enabled Hitlerism which thereby afforded engineering of the Holocaust: the “-logical” scaling of psychotic murder.

The native culpability of Germans—portended in the dynamic of “refusal” which Heidegger framed in Contributions to Philosophy (c1938) and his framing of German ideology in his notebooks—was so horrifying to Germans after the war that decades would pass before their innocent children would grow up to demand that their parents’ generation face accountability, which appeared academically as the Historikerstreit.
