Historian Pamela S. Nadell explores the pervasive and long-standing history of antisemitism in the United States in her new book, "Antisemitism: An American Tradition." In a discussion with Amy E. Schwartz, books editor of Moment Magazine, Nadell traces the roots of antisemitic attitudes and behaviors in America from the colonial era to the present day. The conversation sheds light on the various manifestations and impacts of antisemitism throughout American history, framing it as a recurrent theme rather than an anomaly. Nadell's work aims to inform and engage readers on the complex ways Jewish communities have navigated these challenges across centuries.
