CHAPTER

Historical Perspectives on Anti-Semitism and Distrust

This chapter explores the historical perceptions of Jews in America, particularly through the lens of a book discussing Nazi plots against Hollywood. It highlights survey data from the 1930s indicating significant distrust towards Jews and draws parallels to the resurgence of anti-Semitism in modern society.

You want to know what's really interesting about that so those numbers that he's quoting yeah i'm almost 100 positive he got those from a book called hitler in los angeles how jews foiled nazi plots against hollywood and in there which was written by stephen j. Ross, in there, they actually post these surveys from the 30s, asking people, you know, do you trust Jews? I think it was the American Jewish Committee at the time that was doing those, if I remember the book correctly. But yeah, those numbers have been long forgotten until they decided to write this book to brag about how they foiled all these Nazi plots. Do
Speaker 1
you remember what it said, the
Speaker 2
percentage of
Speaker 1
the U.S. population that trusted Jews? It was
Speaker 2
between 70 and 80. The trusted? Trusted or distrusted? I'll take either or. Well, distrusted was between 70 and 80 percent.
Speaker 1
That makes a bounce.
Speaker 2
Yeah, and you can even, and I'm on Amazon right now, and even one of the reviewers says, what is it? I found this book well-written and fascinating. I was somewhat amazed at the strong sense of anti-Semitism and isolationism that existed in some of the more progressive areas of America at the time. I'm concerned that some of this thinking is raising its ugly head once again This is a review from March 7, 2018. So yeah, they actually went through those numbers in this book and just basically told on themselves that it's like, it's one of those things where you're... They
Speaker 3
do it all
Speaker 2
the time.
