Michael S. Gutter’s book Never Again Still MEANS Never Again delves deep into the realms of history, minorities, and hate groups. Throughout the book, you will clearly see the blend of passion and frustration the author utilized to create this piece. Full of historical fact, as well as the author’s own commentary on the subject matters, Never Again Still MEANS Never Again is educational and empowering. In this interview, we’ve asked Michael some questions about the pivotal moments that inspired this powerful exploration.
Share the personal journey and motivations that led to writing your book. Discuss the inspiration, research, and experiences that shaped its creation.
I have always wanted to write a book and my passion is military history and Judaism. I listen to audiobooks every night and one night I was listening to a couple of Nazi’s and I got very angry. Mind you, I have heard them plenty of times before and never had that reaction. When I got up the next day I saw an old arguing that coward In Pittsburgh who killed 11 people at a Synagogue in Pittsburgh. I grabbed a pen and paper and started writing.
Provide an in-depth overview of the different hate groups that exist today, their ideologies, and their impact on society.
I can give you plenty of hate group names but there’s no reason to. They’re all the same at the end of the day. If any of them read just a couple of pages, any of them, they’ll hopefully understand that the problem is and has always been, themselves.
If any group is formed for the destruction or dismantling someone else, it’s a hate group and any person that’s in one of those groups is a person who looks to hurt others as it covers the excuse that they are the problem in their own lives. When you stop blaming others for your own inequalities, you might start getting some pride and purpose into your life.
Identify and debunk myths and misconceptions about hate groups that the book addresses. Educate readers about the realities these groups pose.
I cover so much of it in the book and it’s woven all throughout the book, that I don’t want to give any examples. It’s important to understand that all of my examples come together by the end of the book.
Discuss the role of communities, individuals, and organizations in effectively countering hate groups. Highlight stories of unity and resilience.
Right now communities and organizations do very little to nothing other than pointing out when it happens or provide statistics on antisemitism. My book clearly states that what everyone is doing is not working and I feel we need to go in the offensive.
Provide guidance for educators and parents on how to discuss hate groups and intolerance with young people. Share insights from the book that can help guide these conversations.
Again, you need to read the read the book. It’s a hard core and thorough but not only should be required reading on schools but I’m confident in saying it’s the greatest book ever written confronting antisemitism.

Never Again Still MEANS Never Again
The harsh tone and writing in my first book, Never Again MEANS Never Again, is based on anger and 
frustration due to blatant lies that I grew tired of constantly debunking. It’s a “no holds barred” response and long overdue. I wrote this version without the “R” rated language, dark humor, and innuendo. It contains the same content and subject matter as the first book, but in a way that anyone of any age can read and understand. Frankly, it should be required reading worldwide, in my humble opinion.
This book provides all antisemites, homophobes, racists, and other minority haters an opportunity to compare the facts from this book to the lies they’ve been told, believe, and perpetuate. It’s written for every Jew worldwide to help understand parts of our history, our present, and our future. It provides facts and opinions on topics such as Hitler, Treaty of Versailles, Manhattan Project, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Nazis, Nobel Prize, Hollywood and much, much more.
Right now, our path looks bleak, but fixable. If you want to help, read the book and remember… Never Again Still MEANS Never Again.
