About the author: Edward Rothstein is Critic at Large at the Wall Street Journal. His essays in Mosaic include “The Problem with Jewish Museums” and “Jerusalem Syndrome at the Met.”

Elaborating on his February essay for Mosaic, Edward Rothstein explains how the Met’s recent exhibit, Jerusalem 1000-1400: Every People under Heaven, manipulated history to give the entirely false impression that the city was a model of tolerance and fruitful cultural interactions during the Middle Ages. (Interview by Eric Cohen. Audio, 45 minutes.)
