SYNAGOGUE
"Why all the fuss about
the Omerammergau Pas-
sion Play in Germany?"
Some Jews ask me that
question after reading my
last column on the subject.
For many people,
Oberammergau is "over
there," distant, remote.
Why bother? Well, it turns
out that the anti-Semitic
impact of the Bavarian Pas-
sion Play is not confined to
that picturesque village.
Its fall-out of nega-
tive, anti-Jewish imagery
also strikes into the Ameri-
can heartland. About a year
ago, I commissioned a
young rabbinic student,
Samuel Weintraub, to do a
study of Passion Plays in
the United States. That
study revealed that there
are at least a dozen
American-produced Pas-
sion Plays, many of which
are traveling road , com-
panies.
As a result of a careful
reading of their scripts or
seeing their productions in
Florida, Georgia, South
Dakota or New Jersey, it
turns out that most of the
American plays are based
entirely on the Oberam-
mergau Passion Play.
The demonological poison
brewed in Bavaria is now
being regularly exported to
pious audiences in our own
country. The prescription
for healing this disease
must be the same for
Bavaria as for Macon,
Georgia — exposure to pub-
lic light of its vicious anti-
Semitism, and pressure on
fair-minded Christians to
avoid • supporting these
plays by staying away from
them.
