ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
 

We are deeply grateful for all of the support, help, and advice we received in creating this book. We wish to thank Leonard Stern for sponsoring the book and serving as a valued adviser throughout the process.

No one involved with Facing History and Ourselves advocated for a book on the history of antisemitism more than Father Robert Bullock, who served on our board of directors and as chair of our board of scholars until his death in 2004. He was a loyal friend and a trusted teacher to us all.

Seth Klarman, the chair of our board of directors, also was deeply involved in this project. He read every word and repeatedly engaged us in deep conversations about the content.

The book owes much to a dedicated a group of colleagues who met regularly to discuss chapters. The suggestions, criticisms, and concerns of Marc Skvirsky, Marty Sleeper, Adam Strom, Dimitry Anselme, Jan Darsa, and Doc Miller influenced the final product in small ways and large. So did the helpful comments we received from other interested readers.

On this project, like on so many others, we benefited from the extraordinary staff at Facing History and Ourselves. They provided a broad array of special services ranging from project management to aid in research, editing, and production. Among them were Michael Durney, Brooke Harvey, Tracy O’Brien, Eva Radding, Catherine O’Keefe, and April Lambert.

We also valued the help we received from the book’s content editor, Carol Barkin. Her attention to detail, pointed questions, and thoughtful advice strengthened the manuscript. So did the services we received from photo researcher Carol Frohlich of Visual Connection Image Research, Inc., and her associate Elisa Gallagher. International Mapping Associates and the designers and copy editors at Six Red Marbles also have contributed greatly to the final product. We are most appreciative of the cover design created by Rodrigo Corral Design.

We also wish to express our gratitude to Yehuda Bauer, Michael Berenbaum, Lawrence Langer, and John Stendahl for their honest critiques of the manuscript, their helpful advice, and wise counsel. They improved the book. We are grateful to Paula Fredriksen, Mary C. Boys, and Ahmed al-Rahim for sharing their expertise on key aspects of this complicated history. And we would like to thank Sir Martin Gilbert for his many works that over the years have become part of the intellectual background and
historical understanding at Facing History and Ourselves. His books on Jewish history, the Holocaust, and antisemitism, as well as his incredible atlases, have informed the modern world.
