I have found prejudice here towards Jews.

But it’s mostly insignificant.

There are probably less than 1000 people here in Chester County who think that “Hitler was right”.

Anti-Semitism seems to be elevated among the upper class in Chester County. When they talk about “blood lines” it’s not just horses. It might be significant that many of Chester County’s upper class are Anglophiles; even to the point of dressing up.
