* Reviews *
"[This book] has filled a niche that is unfortunately much needed at this time. The book has already been used by groups of teachers and students in schools where anti-Semitic incidents have taken place, and will surely be important to keep on hand, given the current prevalence of hate crimes." —Association of Jewish Libraries
"Using dramatic photographs and enlightening text, the author brings to light the past and present challenges of discrimination in all of its forms. RECOMMENDED READING." —M. G. Paregian
