suvata's review against another edition
5.0
I recently posted my thoughts on a book called “Hemlock Island” which I deemed to be a terrifyingly horror novel. At the same time I’ve been reading a non-fiction book named “People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present” in an attempt to try and understand modern day antisemitism. Boy, were my eyes opened. Both books got 5-Star ratings from me as they were equally intriguing and quite frightening. But in my heart, I know the great distinction between pretend scary and real-life scary. My soul aches.

This series of essays is the author's bold statement on how we lean towards softened views of the Holocaust and antisemitism. It's not a comfortable book but it left me with a whole new perspective on how I consume histories.

A necessary series of reflections on modern day antisemitism.

The narrator voice is arrogant, sarcastic, smarmy? I can't name it but it's unbelievable distracting from the content. I'll try to read it.

While I don’t completely buy into Horn’s thesis, there are enough eyebrow-raising stories here to make me at least second guess my comfortable, secular Jewish existence in America, if anywhere.
