The Final Solution to the Jewish Question
"From the three-time National Jewish book award-winning author Dara Horn, a book that, brick by brick, brilliantly dismantles the lies that undergird antisemitism from Biblical times up until today--and then pivots and offers a bold, beautiful, redemptive response. The book begins by exploring how the foundational lie of antisemitism (that Jews are collectively evil and don't deserve to exist) has been a defining element of many different cultures and has shaped and distorted entire societies, including the one we are all living in now. Horn then explores a variety of attempts to counter this lie that Jews have undertaken over the past several thousand years, with very limited success. Finally, she introduces readers to a new concept called pro-semitism: a profound curiosity about the actual civilization of the people of Israel, what it has to do with opposition to empires, why it has endured for thousands of years, why every person in America would benefit from understanding it, and what we are all losing when we don't share the reality of this counterculture with the world"-- Provided by publisher.
