Author and historian Pamela Nadell’s new book Antisemitism, an American Tradition investigates the dark history of how this hate threaded across the American past from colonial times to today. In the wake of the October 27, 2018, synagogue shooting, many Americans were shocked to see such violent antisemitism in the United States. From attempts to expel Jews from New Amsterdam in 1654 to “Jews will not replace us” chants in Charlottesville in 2017, Nadell’s book reveals that this hatred is deeply rooted in our nation’s past.
Join New York Times columnist and 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner Bret Stephens in conversation with Nadell about her new book and the long history of antisemitism in American life. Together, they will explore how understanding the past can help us stand up and fight back against hate.
