"Yup.

So, where precisely is the anti-Semitism in this true statement?

If the Jews had shut up about him at the end of the war, he would
be virtually unheard-of today.

singularly famous. The facts of his despotism make it very
easy to demonize him, but it still takes some effort to keep
those facts in the public eye.
