No one could have predicted the contemporary situation - a Labour Party in the UK whose leadership has condoned expressions of overt antisemitism and debated whether to condemn Holocaust denial; a white supremacist\/nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, with chants of 'Jews will not replace us' and the murder of a counter protestor; the prime minister of Hungary using blatantly antisemitic imagery to win a political campaign; and a former mayor of London and a major UK trade union leader claiming that discussions about antisemitism were nothing more than an attempt by Israel to cover up its wrongdoings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAntisemitism\u003c\/em\u003e, Deborah Lipstadt argues that this is a problem that comes from both ends of the political spectrum.

Written as an exchange of letters with an imagined college student and imagined colleague, both of whom are perplexed by this resurgence, Lipstadt provides her own superbly reasoned, brilliantly argued, and sure-to-be-controversial responses to these troubling questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A leading scholar of Judaism explores just about every manifestation of contemporary antisemitism, with plenty of history included for context ...
