The agents didn't buy it. Ariel explained that her father's hatred for the haters stemmed from his survival in a Nazi concentration camp in Poland during World War II. Weiss's fears would come to a head when the golem attempted to hang him in the synagogue, but he was rescued by Mulder and Scully soon before Ariel destroyed the golem.
