People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present by Dara Horn

5.0

A masterpiece. This is a series of essays on various and diverse topics relating to antisemitism and Jews today. It was deeply moving and inspiring. It was often painful and I needed to take a break from this short and well written work. She visits the Anne Frank House and their bizarre treatment of Jewish employees, the attempts by researchers to preserve information on Jewish communities that were ethnically cleansed from Middle Eastern Countries, wrestles with the way Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice is defended and more. I recommend this to anyone who wants to understand antisemitism today.
