Bad Jew - A Family's Quest from the Minsk Ghetto to Netanyahu's Israel

Combining memoir, history, and political essay, an acclaimed French journalist delves into his family’s past in this searing, nuanced investigation of Jewish identity and what it means in the diaspora versus Israel today. What is a Jew? There are as many answers as there are Jewish people. Written four years ago, and now available in English with a new introduction, Deftly interweaving their stories of activism and migration, Smolar explores how tribalism harms democracy and asks difficult questions: when does loyalty turn into betrayal? What place is left for basic values and empathy? This important book has never been timelier.
