Reflects on subjects such as the international veneration of Anne Frank, the mythology that Jewish family names were changed at Ellis Island, the travelling exhibition 'Auschwitz', the marketing of the Jewish history of Harbin, China, and the little-known life of Varian Fry. Challenges the reader to confront the reasons why there might be so much fascination with Jewish deaths, and so little respect for Jewish lives unfolding in the present.
