![]() ![]() Louise Steinman’s book will appear in Polish in 2020 (this task can be funded here). Steinman reports that time after time when she spoke to Jewish audiences the message of the book’s difficult process for reconciliation was ignored. Louise Steinman wrote a powerful book The Crooked Mirror: A Memoir of Polish-Jewish Reconciliation. It also turns out that the Skirball Museum has chosen the right person to interview Nora Krug, Louise Steinman. The on the ground reality is always more complex and Krug’s book makes that clear. ![]() In a season with ambiguous attempts at crowning art over truth (see Don’t Look Away) this book remains lyrical and imaginative as it builds the story of one German family’s long-dead relatives and their Jewish neighbors. That turns out not to be a job for cowards. The book is a powerful and judicious invitation to open one’s heart. I read Nora Krug’s book Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home. ![]()
