Howard Rotberg's Literary Mission Confronts Ideological Threats Through Second Generation Perspective

Howard Rotberg, a retired lawyer and affordable housing developer, has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary literature through his commitment to exposing and challenging prevailing ideologies. As the founder of Mantua Books, Canada's only publishing house dedicated to conservative values and pro-Israel perspectives, Rotberg has created a platform that amplifies voices aligned with his convictions while authoring four thought-provoking books that explore ideologies and their impact on the modern world.

Rotberg brings a deeply personal perspective to his work as part of the 'Second Generation' - children of Holocaust survivors. His father survived the Nazi Holocaust after losing his parents and 8-year-old sister to gas chambers, enduring slavery as a laborer. Rather than focusing on trauma, Rotberg emphasizes how this heritage should motivate children of survivors to lead efforts in preventing another Holocaust. He argues the mission of the Second Generation requires recognizing the vile antisemitism currently sweeping through the Islamic world, Europe, and Western universities, maintaining that mouthing 'Never Again' while failing to support Jewish rights to live peacefully in their indigenous homeland of Israel constitutes submission to destructive forces.

In his previous works including 'Tolerism: The Ideology Revealed,' 'The Second Catastrophe,' and 'The Ideological Path to Submission,' Rotberg directly confronted Western culture wars, critiquing political correctness, wokism, postmodernism, and equity and diversity initiatives. These books present the argument that excessive tolerance of evil does not represent a moral position and that a coalition between Leftist and Islamist movements, supported by media and academic institutions, has led to submission to both cultural Marxism and radical Islamism. His new collection of essays continues this examination, demonstrating how corrupted culture endangers the fundamental foundations of Western civilization.

Through Mantua Books and his literary contributions, Rotberg maintains that confronting ideologies threatening just societies remains imperative. His work stands as testament to his commitment to intellectual discourse and conservative values, providing analysis drawn from both ideological examination and personal history as part of the Second Generation. This unique combination of publishing platform and authored works creates a comprehensive approach to addressing what he identifies as dangerous trends in contemporary ideological landscapes.
