@FranceskAlbs ventures into obvious and dangerous historical revisionism with her attempt to recast the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as merely part of a broader hatred of the “non-white”, non European or “non-Christian.” Her portrayal of the history of modern antisemitism — and of the term itself — is deeply flawed. The term “antisemitism” emerged in the mid-19th century as a term for “Jew-hatred” and referred specifically to hostility toward Jews. Her use of the term “Muselmann” is also historically inaccurate. "Muselmann" was not a term specifically for Jews and it does not prove that Nazi antisemitism connected Jews and Muslims. The term developed among the concentration camp inmates, not the Nazis, to describe prisoners, Jews and non-Jews, who were near death and appeared as walking skeletons. By misusing this term as evidence of a racial category, Albanese fundamentally distorts its historical meaning. The Nazis targeted and systematically murdered Jews because they were Jewish, as defined through Nazi ideology. The Special Rapporteur would do well to familiarize herself with the history she seeks to address, particularly the rise of Nazi antisemitism and the ideology that paved the way for the Holocaust, before making assertions about it.
