In an urgent and personal new book, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-elected Jewish official in America, sheds light on the Jewish American experience and sounds the alarm about the troubling resurgence of antisemitism.

For the first time in generations, antisemitism has become a daily reality in America, and it's getting worse. Jewish synagogues and their congregants are targeted and sometimes killed by extremists, Jewish students are harassed and attacked on campus, conspiracy theories about Jews have gone mainstream on social media, and debates over Israel have veered into dangerous territory. Senator Chuck Schumer tackles the historical, political, cultural, and international forces that have led to the alarming rise of antisemitism in America in the 21st Century.

ANTISEMITISM IN AMERICA: A WARNING is a timely work of nonfiction that illuminates his generation's Jewish experience. From Brooklyn in the 1960s to Harvard in the 1970s to the inside of a secure bunker on January 6, 2021, Schumer takes readers on a personal journey of how Jewish Americans like him have come to understand their history, their place in America-and why they worry about the future of Jewish life in America.

This book is a warning, informed by the lessons of history and Schumer's experience, about what can happen when the world's oldest hatred is allowed to rise unchecked.
