Rom’s book provides an archivally rich account of Jewish individuals and institutions navigating rapidly shifting politics and state violence during the Cold War.
In 1968, Brazil’s Institute of Social and Economic Studies conducted a survey on attitudes towards Jewish Brazilians, published in Realidade. The results showed that 63% of respondents agreed that "to a Jew, being Jewish is more important than being Brazilian," and 45% agreed that "Jews bring prejudice upon themselves because they consider themselves different and superior to other people."
