How to be a Jewish triple murderer 
and almost get away with it

Tony Kushner

Were Jews as much perpetrators as victims of violence in eighteenth century England?
Is the rags to riches story of Jewish immigrants a nonsense?
Why is there a ‘Jew penis’ in a respectable Glasgow museum?
British Jewish pedlars cause havoc on tour - 

Stories from Egypt, China and Sierra Leone.
