Introduction
Rosenfeld, Alvin H.
(pp. 1-6)
Daniel Johnson, the British historian quoted above, issued his warning about the return of ghosts from the past in February 2019, and he had Europe chiefly in mind. He had every reason to speak out as he did, for anti-Jewish incidents on the continent have been increasing in both number and lethal effect since the turn of the millennium. In Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and other countries, assaults on Jews have now become common.
