Note to the next jackass I have to talk to in a bar

After telling you that in the last 15 years I have worked for the Anti-Defamation League, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and HIAS, and then after explained that my upcoming PhD will be in Holocaust history, that I am writing a dissertation about Jews in Austria, and that my professional expertise is working with Holocaust survivors and their families -- let's agree that we can continue conversing with the assumption that I most likely have considered the scourge of antisemitism and understand it's a worldwide and centuries-long phenomenon.

Believe it or not, you have not just introduced me to the topic.

People are stupid.
