Author Annabelle Gurwitch talks about her Jewish identity

A report from the Pew Research Center released late last week found harassment of Jews living in Europe is at a seven-year high. 

So perhaps it's no surprise that when Annabelle Gurwitch, a Jewish writer living in Los Angeles, asked her teenage son if he would be interested in a trip to Europe, he politely declined.

Gurwitch wrote about the experience for the L.A. Times and joined Take Two to discuss.

Annabelle Gurwitch is the author of "I See You Made an Effort," recently released in paperback.
