Exploring what it means to come of age in an era marked by increasing antisemitism, readers see through the eyes of Jewish Gen Zers how identities are shaped in response to and in defiance of antisemitism.Using personal experiences, qualitative research, and the historic moment in which Generation Z is coming of age, Jewish educator Samantha A. Vinokor-Meinrath uses antisemitism from both the political left and the right to explore identity development among Jewish Gen Zers. With insights from educators, students, activists, and more, she holds a lens up to current antisemitism and its impact on the choices and opinions of the next generation of Jewish leaders.Chapters cover Holocaust education for the final generation able to speak directly to Holocaust survivors and learn their stories firsthand; modern manifestations of antisemitism; and how the realities of 21st-century America have shaped the modern Jewish experience, ranging from the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh to how Gen Zers use social media and understand diversity. The core of this book is a collection of stories: of intersectional identity, of minority affiliations, and of overcoming adversity in order to flourish and thrive.

#antisemitism is a portrayal of how antisemitism has penetrated social media, academic institutions, and modern society. Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath uses a series of anecdotes to highlight the experience of the generation now coming of age in the United States. The author correctly calls out overt and subtle antisemitism across the political spectrum. The book particularly highlights how the increasing prevalence of antisemitism has personally affected the generation that is developing its Jewish identity. The picture that emerges is both enlightening and frightening. While there are no magic solutions, the first step in trying to overcome the new challenges of an age-old problem is to fairly and comprehensively describe the problem, which Vinokor-Meinrath has accomplished brilliantly in this riveting and readable work.
