Kenneth S. Stern, direttore del Bard Center for the Study of Hate, è un avvocato e autore pluripremiato che per 25 anni ha operato come esperto di antisemitismo dell'American Jewish Committee. Il suo lavoro approfondisce le questioni profonde dell'odio e delle sue manifestazioni. Le analisi e le esperienze legali di Stern gli consentono di esaminare i meccanismi sociali che plasmano pregiudizi ed estremismo. Le sue riflessioni e intuizioni critiche, frequentemente pubblicate sui principali media, offrono ai lettori una comprensione più profonda dei complessi fenomeni sociali.
The Conflict over the Conflict offers a unique view of the threat to free speech, academic freedom, and the future of the academy posed by those on both sides of the Israel/Palestine campus debate.
"Kenneth Stern's book is detailed and accurate. As one who survived Auschwitz-Birkenau and Buchenwald, and as one who has been in constant litigation with deniers for over a decade, I can only add my warning to that of Mr. Stern and the American Jewish Committee; if Holocaust denial is not combated, it may become a catalyst for anti-Semitism in the next century." - Mel Mermelstein, Founder, Auschwitz Study Foundation, Inc. "Kenneth Stern and the American Jewish Committee, in this well searched and documented analysis, penetrate into the dark world of Holocaust denial. This well written book is not only a resource of understanding, but also a blueprint for action." - Shelly Z. Shapiro, Director, Holocaust Survivors and Friends in Pursuit of Justice "Mr. Stern's book is a useful aid in understanding the Holocaust deniers and their tactics. It is an important contribution to a growing body of literature on this topic." - Deborah E. Lipstadt, Professor, Emory University
