The late Israeli President and Nobel laureate Shimon Peres described David Harris as the "foreign minister of the Jewish people." He currently serves as Executive Vice-Chair of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) and is a columnist for the London-based *Telegraph*. A longtime friend of Bulgaria, he has twice been honored by Bulgarian presidents.
"*Antisemitism: What We Need to Know*®" examines the resurgence of antisemitism in the 21st century. In recent years, the FBI has reported that over half of all religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States target Jews—despite the fact that Jews make up just over 2% of the population. It is striking how little antisemitism—and the very term itself—is understood. This lack of understanding extends to political leaders, educational authorities, law enforcement and judicial bodies, civic groups, and the media. Surveys also indicate that knowledge of the Holocaust—long considered a bulwark against the resurgence of antisemitism—is fading, despite continued attention to the subject in education, museums worldwide, memorials, and culture.
