“[Smolar is] an excellent and courageous journalist, curious, cultivated, and measured…[In] this wrenching, intimate, beautiful book…he undertakes a captivating journey through time and space, from the Second World War to the present, from Belarus to Poland, from France to Israel.” —L’Obs
“Smolar is a strong critic of the current Israeli government, and writes with great empathy about the conditions under which Palestinians are living. All the while, he fastidiously avoids polemic and invective. The tripled structure of his narrative is put to excellent use when he brings his historic and contemporary materials into dialogue…Smolar’s elegantly matter-of-fact reporting style only underscores the horror…[He] successfully raises urgent questions of wide relevance.” —Haaretz
