As a Jew: Reclaim­ing Our Sto­ry From Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us

As a Jew: Reclaim­ing Our Sto­ry from Those Who Blame, Shame, and Try to Erase Us by Sarah Hur­witz dis­tin­guish­es itself as one of the more acces­si­ble books on the top­ic of anti­semitism in recent years. It is straight­for­ward with­out los­ing nuance, his­tor­i­cal while still feel­ing very of the moment, and simul­ta­ne­ous­ly per­son­al yet able to touch read­ers with diverse backgrounds. As a Jew speaks about the strug­gles Jews face as we walk through the world. Sarah Hur­witz is a for­mer speech­writer for Michelle Oba­ma.
