[Eric's stepfather, Peter, is Jewish]

During 2006, Christopher Bollyn, his wife, and two children traveled to California, and they stopped in Goleta to visit me. They stayed at my house for a couple of weeks. One evening we went to my mother's house for dinner with my mother and Peter.

Christopher, his wife, and me provided my mother and Peter with some details about how the Jews were involved with 9/11, the World Wars, Crystal Night, and the Holocaust. I expected Peter to appreciate the information that we were providing. For example, when we explained to him that Crystal Night was a trick by the Jews to chase the Jews out of Germany and force them to move to Palestine, I was expecting Peter to think to himself, "Well, that certainly explains why all of my Jewish relatives disappeared soon after Crystal Night."

I also expected Peter to appreciate the information that we provided about how the Jews are lying about the Holocaust and the gas chambers. I expected Peter to think himself, "Well, that explains why my father was given a job by the Nazis rather than sent to a gas chamber, and why the Nazis never killed me, either."

However, instead of showing appreciation, Peter looked sad. It sometimes seemed as if he was holding back tears. My assumption was that he had believed the propaganda that Jews are the world's most loving, generous, honest, and innocent people, and that the Jews have been abused for thousands of years by anti-Semites. We were providing him with information that was shattering his fantasy and showing him evidence that the Jews are actually the most horrible, diabolical, dishonest, disgusting creatures that nature has ever produced. He was having trouble dealing with that information.
