“Antisemitism: A Convenient Hatred,” with Phyllis Goldstein, Facing History & Ourselves

Monday, February 13, 2012

7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

Wonders Hall Kiva, MSU

Phyllis Goldstein’s new book on the history of anti-Semitism has been praised by leading scholars. Omer Bartov of Brown University writes, "This book is a tour de force on one of the most intriguing and disturbing phenomena in history.” “Tracing the origins and evolution of antisemitism from antiquity to the present day, it provides a well-informed, highly accessible, and admirably balanced account that should become a basic tool for educators and an essential textbook for students in all fields concerned with the humanities and social sciences."

Phyllis Goldstein is the senior writer and researcher on key Facing History and Ourselves publications including the latest edition of "Facing History and Ourselves: Holocaust and Human Behavior," as well as "The Jews of Poland" and "Race and Membership in American History." She graduated from the University of Chicago and earned a master's degree in teaching from Harvard University. She has worked as a teacher, author, editor, and editorial director.
