A surprising link between the Middle Ages and modern times is made by Rachel Singer's article "Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are: An Exploration of the Personal and the Collective." Published in New York in 1963, this classic children's book, written and illustrated by Sendak, son of a Jewish immigrant family in Brooklyn, is far removed, both chronologically and geographically, from the Ashkenazi Middle Ages. In her study of Sendak's book, however, Singer pries out hidden sources of anti-Semitic perceptions rooted in medieval Christian Europe.
