Yair Auron

The Holocaust, Rebirth, and the Nakba (eBook, PDF)

Memory and Contemporary Israeli-Arab Relations

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Yair Auron's important, innovative and instructive book relates critically to the narratives created by Israeli society regarding the events of 1948: the establishment of the State of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba. Auron proposes a humanistic approach of dialogue to foster the brotherhood of the victims and an identification with each other's suffering, replacing the current relations of force driving the two peoples to a disaster of terrifying international implications.
