"'Witness' layers meaning upon meaning in ways that swirl together into an assailing and disorienting emotional impact. I see in it the quotidian, ostensibly trivial, forms that antisemitism takes as it quietly works its way into collective and hitherto safe value systems, until suddenly it appears as a formidable fact of the thinking of the people, and then the institutions, around us." Professor David Hirsh, expert on antisemitism, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London, and founder of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism.
