Shlomo Sand was born in 1946, in a displaced person's camp in
Austria, to Jewish parents; the family later migrated to Palestine.
As a young man, Sand came to question his Jewish identity, even
that of a "secular Jew." With this meditative and thoughtful
mixture of essay and personal recollection, he articulates the
problems at the center of modern Jewish identity. How I Stopped
Being a Jew discusses the negative effects of the Israeli
exploitation of the "chosen people" myth and its "holocaust
industry." Sand criticizes the fact that, in the current context,
what "Jewish" means is, above all, not being Arab and reflects on
the possibility of a secular, non-exclusive Israeli identity,
beyond the legends of Zionism.
