The Jews' fear of assimilation and intermarriage should not replace fear of anti-Semitism.

In terms of defending Jews, I'm a Jew.

Anti-Semitism is the rumour about the Jews.

No one said anything to my face, but I constantly heard comments denigrating Jews.

The majesty of the American Jewish experience is in its success marrying its unique Jewish identity with the larger, liberal values of the United States. There is no need anymore to choose between assimilation and separation. We are accepted as equals.

The search for a Jewish national home came about due to centuries of anti-Semitic pogroms, expulsions, discrimination and hate. The Holocaust was simply the evil culmination of all that came before it.
