| Opplysninger | Horn draws upon her travels, her research and also her own family lifetrying to explain Shakespeares Shylock to a curious ten-year-old, her anger when swastikas are drawn on desks in her childrens school, the profound perspective offered by traditional religious practice and studyto assert the vitality, complexity and depth of Jewish life against an antisemitism that, far from being disarmed by the mantra of Never forget, is on the rise. As Horn explores the (not so) shocking attacks on the American Jewish community in recent years, she reveals the subtler dehumanisation built into the public piety that surrounds the Jewish pastmaking the radical argument that the benign reverence we give to past horrors is itself a profound affront to human dignity.
