Subject: Credits

   This reading list is based on an original antisemitism list developed
   by Rob Levine as part of the general Judaism reading list. It has been
   augmented by material from my library that I obtained from a course on
   antisemitism that was once taught by Dr. Deborah Lipstadt at UCLA and
   from suggestions in The Jewish Catalog. Other contributers include
   Rabbi Charles Arian, A. Engler Anderson, David A Guberman, Shaul
   Wallach, Dan Yurman and Len Moskowitz. Suggestions for additions or
   deletions for this list are welcome, as are _brief_ annotations for
   the various list entries.
