Holocaust scholar Deborah Lipstadt, in her new book, Antisemitism: Here and Now, turns to the causes and forms of anti-Jewish hatred: the most-ancient of conspiracy theories. I interviewed Lipstadt for an article in Publishers Weekly, but much was left on the cutting-room floor. Lipstadt kindly allowed me to run our entire interview in my podcast. I begin with my own first anti-Semitic experience from my early childhood in Georgia. Then Lipstadt and I discuss a range of topics, from the Women's March and Alice Walker, to the roots of anti-Semitism and what we can do about it.
