About this listen

 A groundbreaking -- and terrifying -- examination of the widespread resurgence of antisemitism in the 21st century, by the prize-winning and #1 internationally bestselling author of Hitler's Willing Executioners.

Antisemitism never went away, but since the turn of the century it has multiplied beyond what anyone would have predicted. It is openly spread by intellectuals, politicians and religious leaders in Europe, Asia, the Arab world, America and Africa and supported by hundreds of millions more. Indeed, today antisemitism is stronger than any time since the Holocaust.

In The Devil that Never Dies, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen reveals the unprecedented, global form of this age-old hatred; its strategic use by states; its powerful appeal to individuals and groups; and how technology has fueled the flames that had been smoldering prior to the millennium.

A remarkable work of intellectual brilliance, moral stature, and urgent alarm, The Devil that Never Dies is destined to be one of the most provocative and talked-about books of the year. 21st Century Judaism Modern Social Sciences

What did you like best about The Devil That Never Dies? What did you like least?

this is a timely call to attention to the dismaying rise of global anti-Semitism
im sure the list of horrible slanders and acts could go on for longer than this exhaustive book does

My only real issues with the book are its seeming desire to rank the many various discriminations the the world has seen especially when the author seems not to understand how insidious some of these are especially slavery.To try and rank them in some sort of league table is very distasteful.My other issue is that it seems to think that to question Israel for trying to flatten Palestine with a force a thousand times worse than it gave is somehow anti-Semitic.I dont want to get bogged down in the issue and i understand that Israel has a right to defend its self just like any other country does.That does not give it a right to board+shoot up an aid flotilla though and expect to have no international censure.That is not to say that Israel's military aggression is always wrong or an embodiment of the will of it's people.

Aside from those issues i have with the book,a large amount of the work could be transferred to any form of discrimination,for instance if a person commits a crime pointing out an irrelevant characteristic,in this case obviously that characteristic is there religion.Also holding up either transgression or crime of a Jew or a collection of Jews while overlooking similar crimes of a different group

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
