Description

Jewish Noir is a unique collection of all-new stories by both Jewish and non-Jewish literary and genre writers. The narratives within this compilation delve into profound issues like the Holocaust and its enduring impact on subsequent generations, as well as anti-Semitism in the United States during the mid- and late-20th century.

The collection also sheds light on the darker aspects of the Diaspora, such as the decline of revolutionary fervour, the passing of generations, and the notion of the "Golden Ghetto." Through these stories, readers will encounter numerous teachable moments about the history of prejudice, alongside the contradictions inherent in ethnic identity and the complexities of assimilating into American society.
