Eternal guilt?

With an essay by Ahmad Mansour.
75 years ago, on May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed. To mark this anniversary, Michael Wolffsohn presents a self-critical and completely revised new edition of his seminal work "Eternal Guilt". The optimism that prevailed in 1988 when the first edition was published has now given way to a sobering reflection. From "reparations" to today's deceptive normality, Wolffsohn takes a critical look at German-Jewish-Israeli relations. The author, connected to both sides as a German and a Jew, advocates for a relaxed approach to history: neither repression nor routine atonement rituals help future generations, but only insight into the uniqueness of the past that binds both sides together – for better or worse.
