Review of 'People Love Dead Jews' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A harrowing but important book examining the modern relation of how most modern non-jews knowledge of judaism comes from our deaths, not our living culture and the way that lack of knowledge fuels antisemitism. I had to sit down and just listen while listening to via audiobook, it was so gripping I couldn't do much of anything else whilst listening.

I appreciated the authors discussions on modern, ancient, and relatively recent antisemitism as well. I honestly question how much the people who rail against the authors seemingly pro-Zionist leanings actually read the same book as I did, as it profoundly demonstrated exactly why Zionism is a necessary ideology to modern jewish survival.
