Author Roy Schwartz is the author of a 400 page study of Superman’s Jewish influences.
The character was created by Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and the Netherlands.
Understanding the character's Jewishness isn’t some ploy to gain bragging rights or a way to claim’ the character, he said.
There’s still “a bit of whitewashing of Jewish characters in superhero movies and TV shows,” said Schwartz.
He hopes his book will encourage Jews and non-Jews alike to embrace Superman's Jewish history.
Without Jews, Superman wouldn’t be Superman, he said.
