Germany, the most racist of countries less than a century ago, has for the past two years welcomed over one million refugees, more than any other European country. To find out the secret behind this turn of character, Tuvia Tenenbom, a Jew born in Israel, presented himself as a Jordanian and was able to gain entry into many refugee camps. Living in squalid conditions in airless rooms, and with barely edible food, the refugees begged Tuvia to help them get out of the camps. When not with the refugees, Tuvia traveled through the land and mingled with the local people who shared with him that they, the Germans, were the kindest people in Europe, far superior to the "inhumane” Jews. Tuvia Tenenbom's provocative re-enactment of the refugee reality in the middle of Europe, coupled with the rising anti-Semitism of the people who proclaim themselves to be kind, exposes the hypocrisy of the "Refugees Welcome" mantra chiming throughout the Western world. • • • Praise for Tuvia Tenenbom’s previous work: "Irresistibly fascinating, emotionally explosive ... seductive and engaging." The New York Times "Highly engaging and emotional, eminently readable, brutally honest.” Publishers Weekly “A Falstaffian reporter . . . Illuminating and alarming." The Wall Street Journal "Tenenbom’s hodgepodge of politics, zealotry and literary genres is fresh and audacious." The Village Voice "Hugely entertaining, terribly funny, sarcastic, engaging, powerful, accusatory, judgmental, good!" National Review

Review\n"A pointed, savage and often comic travelogue about attitudes in Britain and Ireland … Most excruciating, he finds perfectly 'tamed' British Jews who equivocate about the Jew-hatred in their country." 
Melanie Phillips, Jewish Chronicle (UK)\n"Amazingly frank, amusing, fearless and chuzpadik, wonderfully readable, highly recommended." 
Neville Teller, The Jerusalem Report (Israel)\n"If J.D. Salinger and John Steinbeck collaborated on antisemitism in the UK, they might have written The Taming of the Jew." 
H. Fragman Abramson, Jewish Press (USA)\n"Quizzical and tragic at the same time, the sort of comedy sketches that Samuel Beckett might have written if he were Jewish rather than Irish." 
David Goldman, Algemeiner (USA)\n"Tenenbom is the Egon Erwin Kirsch of our time." 
Henryk M. Broder, Achgut (Germany)\n"Full of investigative chutzpah and laughter, poetic like a bird flapping its wings, and sensual like a man loudly enjoying his meal ... mixing British wit and Talmudic subtleties." 
Matthias Matussek, Die Weltwoche (Switzerland)\n"This is a frightening book and deserves to be read." 
David Herman, The Article (UK)\n"What differentiates this book from other books is this: This book is very funny." 
Yaron London, Channel 11 TV (Israel)\n"An accurate picture of reality, more accurate than BBC and CNN." 
Roman Joch, Lidové Noviny (Czech Republic)\n"Razor sharp, sarcastic, occasionally even shocking, and very entertaining." 
Petr Kolář, MF DNES (Czech Republic)\n"Tenenbom’s writing is laced with great entertainment, while at the same time providing much knowledge." 
Ulrike Borowczyk, Hamburger Abendblatt (Germany)\n"Full of investigative chutzpah and laughter, poetic like a bird flapping its wings, and sensual like a man loudly enjoying his meal...mixing British wit and Talmudic subtleties."Die Weltwoche (Switzerland) The Taming of the Jew, Israel's number one best-selling e-book, is Tuvia Tenenbom's funniest and most disturbing book to date. For months on end, Tuvia roamed through the four nations that make up the United Kingdom Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. He interacted with anyone and everyone who came his way throughout his journey: from the terrifying ghosts long dead to the highly esteemed lords and baronesses very much alive, most of whom happened to be anti-Semites. But that's not all. While wandering around, Tuvia caught a nap in Winston Churchill's room, curled up in Hillary Clinton's European bed, played cat-and-mouse with the most infamous British politician, Jeremy Corbyn, and enjoyed excellent tobacco with the Brexit architect, Nigel Farage. In between, he drank the blackest of coffees with a well-known bank robber, maintained close contact with an eagle, swallowed a monster, and chatted with Jewish leaders who fervently defended every anti-Semite in Her Majesty's Kingdom.
