Reviews

""This is a powerful and compelling book that speaks to our time but also offers a longer-term historical perspective that is often lacking in contemporary discussions of antisemitism in the present. Deeply moving, I look forward to seeing it in the world."" - Laura Levitt, author of The Objects that Remain and American Jewish Loss after the Holocaust   ""Stained Glass is my favorite kind of book: one I have a really hard time describing. What do you call a memoir that is also art history, a book about antisemitism that is also about Jewish pride, a scholarly history as concise as a sonnet? I don’t know, but it’s worth reading, now."" - Mark Oppenheimer, author of Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting and the Soul of a Neighborhood and Judy Blume: A Life   ""Moving between Europe and America, personal memory and historical scholarship, Flora Cassen probes antisemitism, Holocaust memory, Jewish belonging, and the renewed sense of isolation that followed October 7. Written with remarkable economy and intellectual honesty, Stained Glass is a quiet masterpiece."" - Daniel B. Schwartz, author of Ghetto: The History of a Word
