A Letter in the Night - Chaja Polak - Bog

In times of political earthquakes and war very little space is left for nuance. Reasoning quickly turns black or white, also because people want to avoid the yes-but-pitfall. In the complex conflict between Israel and Gaza with its long history, we have the countless stories of friend and foe, Chaja Polak writes. Stories that should be read with empathy and understanding. Sadness exists on both sides of the border. Victims and perpetrators likewise exist on both sides of the border. Polak recognizes the pain and desperation of all parties and looks for nuance. Especially, when she sees that her own family in Israel is barely able to do so anymore. A necessary addition to a hardened debate!Letter in the Night is in its fifth print-run and has been one of Cossee's bestselling essays since its publication.
