Bestselling author Lisa Barr draws strength from her novel 'The Goddess of Warsaw' amid backlash and blacklisting for her support of Israel. Barr sees common denominators between the past and present and refuses to remain silent about the surge of antisemitism. She highlights the hypocrisy of activist authors and artists who stand up for women's and LGBTQ rights but remain silent on the violation of those rights under Hamas. Barr refuses to blacklist anti-Zionist and antisemitic authors but is fighting back constructively, including contributing to an anthology on fighting antisemitism and anti-Zionism. She finds hope in the unity of Jewish authors and their non-Jewish allies.
