NEW BOOK
Getauschte Heimat, Ein Jahr zwischen Berlin und Tel Aviv
When Anja Reich leaves Berlin to go to Tel Aviv for two years, she also leaves behind her neighbor Yael Nachshon Levin. Yael has moved to Berlin only recently, and Tel Aviv is her home. The two decide to write letters to each other: about their experiences with the exchanged homeland, about the foreign and the familiar, about Israel and Germany. That also means: about terror and anti-Semitism, about the question of security for the family and about what home means today. An impressive conversation in letters about two countries, which connects much and for which the dialogue is important.
Berliner Zeitung's weekly column -
