*Frederick M. Schweitzer is professor emeritus of history at Manhattan College,
where he founded the Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center.
Inspired by “Nostra Aetate” of Vatican II, he became an accredited expert on
antisemitism and was called by the Canadian Human Rights Commission to testify
against Ernst Zündel. Dr. Schweitzer has written, edited, or reviewed numerous
books and articles on antisemitism, the Holocaust, and multiple aspects of Jewish
history and historiography. His most recent books (with Marvin Perry) include
Antisemitism: Myth and Hate from the Middle Ages to the Present (New York:
Palgrave Macmillan, 2002) and Antisemitic Myths (Bloomington: Indiana University
Press, 2008). He is currently completing a book about race, religion, and conspiracy
in Benjamin Disraeli’s life and writings. With the usual disclaimers, he
wishes to acknowledge the indispensable guidance of two renowned authorities on
international law, William A. Schabas of Middlesex University Department of
Law, London, and Dinah L. Shelton of George Washington University Law School.
