Description
" A Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism " chronicles a very particular hatred through powerful stories that allow readers to see themselves in the tarnished mirror of history. It offers insights into universal aspects of human behavior, particularly the power of ideas--even mistaken ideas--to shape thought, judgment, and ultimately behavior. In doing so, the book raises important questions about the consequences of our assumptions and beliefs and the ways we, as individuals and as members of a society, make distinctions between "us" and "them," right and wrong, good and evil. These questions are both universal and particular.
