Wilbur and Sara Pierce's book, Jews Have Horns: An Anthology of Antisemitism, is a moving collection of stories chronicling the resilience, courage, and enduring spirit of the Jewish people in the face of adversity.
Through vivid storytelling, Jews Have Horns brings to life moments of cultural perseverance, acts of heroism, and deeply personal accounts of survival. From the high-end fashion scene of Chopin's Boutique in Warsaw to the fragrant memories evoked in Garbo's Perfume, the anthology showcases the creativity and endurance of Jewish communities even in the most challenging times.
The Pierces also delve into the harrowing realities of Jewish persecution, recounting stories of the Kindertransport, where children were rescued from Nazi oppression, and the refugees aboard the HMT Dunera, who faced internment in Australia but persevered with dignity. The anthology also examines more modern instances of prejudice, such as the discrimination faced by Jewish professionals in the banking industry during the 1970s, termed "Chemical Antisemitism."
The anthology highlights extraordinary acts of resistance and bravery, including the ingenious creation of the fake "Syndrome K" disease at Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Rome to save lives during the Holocaust and the covert operations of underground resistance groups.
Jews Have Horns is more than a recounting of historical events; it is a tribute to the unyielding strength and ingenuity of a people who have faced centuries of prejudice with unwavering resolve. Perfect for readers drawn to World War II history, Jewish cultural narratives, and the study of antisemitism, this anthology serves as both a reflection on the past and a source of inspiration for the future.
Wilbur and Sara Pierce invite readers to immerse themselves in these stories of courage and resilience. Jews Have Horns: An Anthology of Antisemitism is now available on Amazon.
