Jews on Trial

Jews On Trial is a close examination of anti-semitism exposed in a variety of legal settings, including legal settings of literature (such as Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice") and all-too-real trials of history, ranging from accusations of "blood libel" to the infamous trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to a modern libel suit in British courts against Holocaust denier David Irving that effectively put the existence of the Holocaust itself on trial. Methodically scrutinizing each case, Jews On Trial dissects the lessons of history and reveals details with exacting thoroughness. A highly recommended and welcome addition to library and personal Judaic studies and history collections.
