The key to unlock the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is hiding in the field of psycho-politics. This book offers the readers a new courageous reading for the painful traumatic rivalry that continues to mold the two national communities-the Holocaust and the Nakba. The remarkably insightful, yet challenging, arguments pursued by leading Arab and Jewish intellectuals and scholars in this volume bring a ray of hope during these gloomy times.--Avraham Burg, former speaker of the Knesset, author of The Holocaust Is Over; We Must Rise From its Ashes The Holocaust and the Nakba is an original and timely volume that sheds new light into our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By putting these two traumas together, it challenges what many would consider a blasphemous comparison and refutes any binary approaches to explaining one of the most intractable conflicts of the twentieth century. It provides us with new modes of thinking needed for transcending the ongoing political impasse and building a true historical reconciliation in Israel/Palestine.--Leila Farsakh, author of Palestinian Labour Migration to Israel: Labour, Land and Occupation Of the many points of conflict in Israel-Palestine, none is as confounding as the intersecting claims of collective suffering. At once historical and normative, this landmark volume is the first to reprise the many ways in which the relationship between the Holocaust and Nakba have been imagined since the 1940s. The editors propose a bold, even revolutionary framework for relating these traumas that is a necessary provocation to entrenched patterns of memory.--A. Dirk Moses, author of German Intellectuals and the Nazi Past
