Israel

Michael Brenner

Dream and Reality of the Jewish State - From Theodor Herzl till today

Michael Brenner masterfully interweaves Israel's political and social development with the history of it’s self-drafts, dreams and traumas. Only those who know this dimension of depth can really understand the great small country that keeps the world in suspense again and again.

Israel concerns us all. Its birth is deeply connected with the wounds of Germany and Europe. The religion of most people has its origins in the territory of today's Israel. Michael Brenner describes the history of the country from the impossible longing of the early Zionists for a "normal state" through the founding of the state in 1948 and the subsequent wars and waves of immigration to the different visions of Israel, which today increasingly divide the country.
