Book excerpt: Examines anti-Semitism in Reinar Fassbinder's artistic work especially his ill-famed play of 1975, Der Muell, die Stadt und der Tod, i.e. the phenomenon of cultural anti-semitism in post war Germany. Fassbinder was many times accused for embodying (implicitly or explicitly) some anti-Semitic of Fascist elements in his works. In this undertaking I attempt to confront these allegations historically and analytically.
