The separant pole can be denoted as Sisyphean, after the Greek stone-manipulating Titan; we denote participant as Tantalic, after the stationary, inner-directed and abstract demi-god.
We propose, therefore, to view anti-Semitism, and specifically the Holocaust, as, inter alia, a manifestation of the dialectical clashes and syntheses between the Jewish Tantalic social character and a series of extreme Sisyphean social characters leading up to the Germans.
