Well reviewd., thanks. Blunt message about relegating antisemitism to the safety of history while irgnoring with a modicum of tut-tuts present day anti-Jewish screeds, actions, and baked in prejudices. I wonder if the same can be said of anti-Black sentiment. We honor MLK, Muhammad Ali, Thurgood Marshall, James Baldwin, Malcolm X, etc. because they are safely in their graves.
The lead story called “Shema” follows a 13 year-old Jewish girl 500 years in the future who watches her family’s government sanctioned murder by the “New Christians” and while using a computer to search for the long lost meaning of Shema, is discovered and killed herself after having become the last Jew. The story is my granddaughter’s debut story having been published when she was just 16.

Marc, an important book well reviewed. But at the risk of seeming to be self-serving, I’d like to point you to this small volume.
