I chose to improve the Wikipedia entry “Stereotypes of Jews” because as I was reading it I realized how much modern day stereotypes have changed and what other stereotypes have been associated with Jewish people and their culture. I will edit this article explaining where each stereotype was derived from as I will be adding more relevant and newer stereotypes. The author mentions how Jews are often thought to be greedy, nit-picky, and stingy-misers but then never talks about the categories in depth. After reading the introduction and conclusion to the book, Defiance: the Bielski partisans, by Nechama Tec, I found that the motives behind capturing and torturing the Jews were nonetheless based on stereotypes which some people still associate Jewish people with today.

Sources I will use:

Jews & Money: The Story of A Stereotype by Abraham H. Fox

From Stereotype to Metaphor: The Jew in Contemporary Drama by Ellen Schiff

The Jews: A History (Textbook)

Defiance: The Bielski partisans by Nechama Tec
