Subject: Credits This reading list is based on an original antisemitism list developed by Rob Levine as part of the general Judaism reading list. It has been augmented by material from my library that I obtained from a course on antisemitism that was once taught by Dr. Deborah Lipstadt at UCLA and from suggestions in The Jewish Catalog. Additional entries were provided by Eric Simon during the remodeling of the reading lists in July/August 2000. Other contributers include Rabbi Charles Arian, A. Engler Anderson, David A Guberman, Shaul Wallach, Dan Yurman and Len Moskowitz. Suggestions for additions or deletions for this list are welcome, as are brief annotations for the various list entries. A special thank you... Special thanks for her patience and understanding go to my wife, Karen, who put up with me hiding at the computer for the two months it took to complete the July/August 2000 remodel of the entire soc.culture.jewish FAQ and Reading Lists. If you think the effort was worth it, drop her a note c/o [6]maintainer@scjfaq.org. ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Please mail additions or corrections to me at faigin@pacificnet.net.
