»Are anti-Semitists present? – Stories, satires and comics against Jew-hatred«

If humanity can't agree on anything else, then at least it can always agree that the Jews are to blame for everything, even on October 7, 2023. Left and right, people with a migration background and potatoes, Islamists and queers, neo-Nazis, professional zonists and decolonialists join in the strange singing.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Elders of Zion, the most astute and funniest Jewish and non-Jewish authors have gathered to confront new and old anti-Semitism - in around 80 satires, essays, stories, poems and cartoons.

Because there is one thing that helps best against hatred: laugh out loud!
