As this film makes graphic, a climate of

hostile opinion affects Jews in Europe

today in ways few could have anticipated

as recently as a decade ago. No one who

watches THE MONSTER AMONG US can

doubt that anti-Semitism is back and needs

to be taken seriously. The interviews pre-

sented here drive home that point credibly

and unmistakably.”

- Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Professor of English

and Jewish Studies & Director of the Institute

for Jewish Culture and the Arts, Indiana Univ.

The Monster Among Us is a provocative and

timely film. You deserve immense credit for

bringing the subject of European anti-Semitism

out of the closet, and for exposing the Radical

Islamists in major European cities who have

been attacking Jews with impunity. Here at

Brandeis, your film drew a considerable audience

and sparked a vigorous discussion. That is what

a university should be about! - Jonathan D. Sarna,

Director of Hornstein: The Jewish Professional

Leadership Program & Joseph H. & Belle R.

Braun Professor of American Jewish History,

Brandeis University

The U.S. State Department released an

80-page report to Congress in mid-March, entitled "Contemporary Global Anti-Semitism", detailing an upsurge across

the world of anti-Semitism.

“Today, more than 60 years after the

Holocaust, anti-Semitism is not just a

factof history, it is a current event,” the report indicates.

I think it’s a major documentary about this

large-scale, most dangerous development that

lives in the depth of our mythical conscious-

ness and can, therefore, rise at any given time,

creating havoc. Here it is, in your film, indicating

its wide-ranging capacity, leading from hatred

to murder. - Zsuzsanna Ozsvath, Leah and Paul Lewis Chair of Holocaust Studies, UT Dallas

Watch The Monster Among Us, and then, when

the first European pogrom [holocaust] of the 21st century happens, you will not be able to say that

you are shocked. You will be outraged and saddened and scared, and we can scream “never again!”, but you will not be able to claim you are shocked. The directors bring you face to face, and face to mask, with the victims and demons of modern anti-Semitism in Europe. - Charles Stone, Professor at CUNY & Brooklyn College professor

Thank you again for letting me show your film. It was very well received and the most common general comment I heard from students was, "I had no idea this was happening in Europe."

- Joshua Agranat, Student -Brandeis University

Remember the phrase, “Never Again!” This is one

way for those of us in Dallas to try to help ensure

nothing like the Holocaust happens again.

- Harriet Gross, Reporter and Columnist, Texas JewishPost and Dallas Morning Post

This kind of anti-Semitism, the report says,

"is common throughout the Middle East

and in Muslim communities in Europe,

but it is not confined to these populations."

You helped us to explore a frightening reality that most of us struggle to believe in...sounds like pre WWII, doesn't it? It takes films like this to ensure action and understanding in a society that wants to focus on positive human qualities and ignore the negative. - Deborah Kesner-Steinberg, Adult/Jewish Program Director - Wagner Jewish Community Center, Salt Lake City

… grapples with a different form of contemporary

racism--namely, European anti-Semitism… takes a compre-hensive comprehensive look at the modern state of Jew hatred in Paris, London, and everywherein between… ‘Monster’ asks the right questions (Is another Holocaust possible? Has Europe owned up to its Jew problem?)

- by Eric Kohn, indieWIRE.com

I also really liked how you explored the internet's role in this new wave of anti-Semitism… the

videos were shocking and disturbing. Sadly, I suppose there is no solution that you could have presented, except for the plans to relocate to Isreal. It was a disheartening ending, which is absolutely necessary for the film. I think it shows a true respect and honest assessment of the severity of the problem.m.

- Catherine Wallace, Former Educator in Dallas Independent School District

It was (is) mind jolting.

- Bill Flynn, Actor and Board Member of the Dallas

Producers Association

Your work is bold and courageous. ..I congratulate

you on a meaningful message and the wisdom to

speak it. It shows a perspective that people need to

know.

- Niki Nicastro McCuistion, Television Producer

The movie was very moving and disturbing; I could

not go to sleep for hours. I had to go home and

hug my sleeping boys.
