Antisemitism in America

by Leonard Dinnerstein

Book Overview

An outstanding book

I almost cried many times whie readiing this book. I am just thankful that i grew up in the 1970's-1980's when anti-semetism was at an alltime low. I can only imaging what jews hd to go thri in the first half of this Century. His chapter on black anti-semetism hit it on the head big time. He shows how black anti-semetirsm started an how they are the only group in america today who is still openly anti-semetic. This book is the most definitive book on anti-semetism that i have ever read
