Arendt is correct here, more than she knows, when she discusses the Jewish narrative post-war. Sweeping the active participation of the Jewish leaders in the Holocaust under the rug, burying that "unfortunate truth", made a clearer picture of Victims vs Perpetrators and ultimately led to the creation of Israel. Consequences of which we still suffer.

"Now, when the bankruptcy can no longer be concealed, they betray the house that went broke, in order to establish a political alibi for themselves - the same men who have betrayed everything that was in the way of their claim to power."

Unfortunate that my own family is one who suffered a crisis of conscience and went along with the Nazis.
