In 31 short polemics, each based on current events, Sandra Kreisler describes the feeling of living as a Jew in Germany, Austria, Europe. Radically biased, because the opponent seems overpowering, she names 'anti-Semitism 2.0', which makes its way undisturbed into the heart of our society via the supposedly righteous path of criticism of Israel, and, untainted by facts, takes root equally in left-wing, right-wing and mainstream debates.

Thin-skinned and vulnerable, at the same time biting and always equipped with Kreisler's famous black humour, her essays reveal how deeply anti-Semitism is still inherent in our society, unnoticed - and above all largely unchallenged.

Sandra Kreisler, born in Munich, US citizen, grew up as the daughter of Georg Kreisler and Topsy Küppers in the direct environment of literature, theatre, especially literary chanson and cabaret. She works as a freelance singer, actress, word acrobat, teacher, speaker, director and author and lives in Berlin and Switzerland.
