Never Again?

Více o knize

The ongoing war on terror, instability in the Middle East, and a faltering world economy dominate headlines, yet a disturbing resurgence of anti-Semitism is emerging, previously on the decline since World War II. This troubling trend raises questions about how the optimism of the twenty-first century has been overshadowed by age-old hatreds, now linked to global terrorism. Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, confronts this menace daily and believes we are facing a threat to the safety of the Jewish people comparable to that of the 1930s. He warns that history has shown the dangers of unchecked anti-Semitism, which can lead to devastating consequences. The lessons learned from the tragic events of the twentieth century emphasize the importance of recognizing new forms of anti-Semitism to warn the world and mitigate its effects. This form of intolerance persists across the globe, with Jews facing persecution in both traditional and novel ways. By exploring the history of anti-Semitism and examining the current surge in anti-Jewish sentiment, this work provides a critical discussion on necessary actions to prevent a repetition of past horrors in this century.
