Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt has made fighting hatred against Jews her life’s work. And since October 7, as Joe Biden’s special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism is fond of putting it, she has been working in a “growth industry”.
Lipstadt has found herself reckoning with a record wave of attacks on Jews globally in light of Hamas’s attack and Israel’s subsequent response. “Business is booming,” she joked recently of her office’s portfolio, “I’m the only one in the Biden-Harris administration hoping for a recession.”
