Anti-Semitism has surfaced on university campuses, in the media, on the streets, on the Internet, at political demonstrations and in seemingly innocent social situations.
The Monster Among Us examines this wave of anti-Semitism against European Jews and their institutions, mainly from the point of view of those who have directly experienced the violence or live every day with the threat.
In recent conversations with American Jews as well as non-Jews, it's surprising by how many are un-informed about the problem. Some have heard about the violence in France, but most are totally unaware of what's happening in the rest of Europe.

Hi, Cynthia & Allen! Congratulations on a job well done. This film is haunting and poignant - terrifying and yet so personal. Thank you for bringing this concern to the American public; all of us need to be more aware of such hatred and work together to support mutually respectful conflict resolution. All the best to you and your film in 2008!
Will be seeing this tonight in Memphis. Am keenly interested in the film and looking forward to the talk-back with the filmmakers following the screening.
