Uncomfortable conversations with a Jew / by Acho, Emmanuel,author.; Tishby, Noa,1977-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."For Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby no question about Jews is off-limits. They go there. They cover Jews and money. Jews and power. Jews and privilege. Jews and white privilege. The Black and Jewish struggle. Emmanuel asks, "Did Jews kill Jesus?" To which Noa responds, "Why are Jewish people history's favorite scapegoat?" They look at Judaism itself: Is it a religion, culture, a peoplehood, or a race? They discuss whether Jews are white. They poke at whether you're antisemitic, if you're anti-Zionist? The questions -- and answers -- might make you squirm, but together, they explain the tropes and catalysts of antisemitism in America today. This book is a lexicon for a fraught cultural moment. The topics are complicated and Acho and Tishby bring vastly different perspectives. Tishby is an outspoken Israeli American. Acho is a mild-mannered son of a Nigerian American pastor. But they share a superpower: an uncanny ability to make complicated ideas easy to understand so anyone can follow the straight line from the past to our immediate moment -- and then see around corners. Acho and Tishby are united by the core beliefs that the only way out is through and that hatred toward one group is never isolated: if you see the smoke of bigotry in one place, expect that we will all be in the fire"--Dust jacket flap.

Milena and Margarete : a love story in Ravensbrück / by Strauss, Gwen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A profoundly moving celebration of love under the darkest of circumstances. From the moment they met in 1940 in Ravensbrück concentration camp, Milena Jesenska and Margarete Buber-Neumann were inseparable. Czech Milena was Kafka's first translator and epistolary lover, and a journalist opposed to fascism. A non-conformist, bi-sexual feminist, she was way ahead of her time. With the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, her home became a central meeting place for Jewish refugees. German Margarete, born to a middle-class family, married the son of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. But soon swept up in the fervor of the Bolshevik Revolution, she met her second partner, the Communist Heinz Neumann. Called to Moscow for his "political deviations," he fell victim to Stalin's purges while Margarete was exiled to the hell of the Soviet gulag. Two years later, traded by Stalin to Hitler, she ended up outside Berlin in Ravensbrück, the only concentration camp built for women. Milena and Margarete loved each other at the risk of their lives. But in the post-war survivors' accounts, lesbians were stigmatized, and survivors kept silent. This book explores those silences, and finally celebrates two strong women who never gave up and continue to inspire. As Margaret wrote: "I was thankful for having been sent to Ravensbrück, because it was there I met Milena.""--
