PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
A scholarly but eminently readable tracing of the sources and recurring themes of anti-Semitism. -Library Journal Poliakov has demonstrated brilliantly how widely and deeply versed he is in his subject. -Economist Highly recommended without exception. -Choice Poliakov has shown that anti-Semitism is no chance phenomenon but an emanation of European culture. -Times Literary Supplement Leon Poliakov's work on antisemitism is of enormous importance. As a work of scholarship it is almost without peer. One could have imagined that Poliakov's study might have given a long overdue burial to the longest hatred. Sadly-tragically-it has taken on a new urgency in our time as the images and issues have been resurrected at the beginning of the twenty-first century. -Michael Berenbaum, Director, Sigi Ziering Institute
