The current revival of antisemitism in Europe and the demonization of Jews in parts of the Muslim world give special importance to the exposure of the myths and lies that for centuries led people to regard Jews as the dangerous "other" and that led to violence and persecution.

Also included are documents illustrating the recent revival of classical myths about Jews among black nationalists, Holocaust deniers, and Islamic fundamentalists. Finally, the anthology includes documents illustrating the efforts of Christian churches today to come to terms with their antisemitic pasts. Lucid, accessible overviews by the editors place the documents in context for students and general readers.
