- Summary:
- A retired Chicago Jewish educator relates true stories of how Jews have been perceived, treated, and yet often thrived despite intolerance throughout history. While it is well-known that the Merchant of Venice mirrors early Christian views of Jews and that Einstein was considered a poor student, many of the tales are little known: e.g., how a Jew became an American Indian chief, how Israeli intelligence helped thwart an early assassination plot against Egypt's President Sadat.
