Description
Hatred of Jews is long-standing, widespread and powerful. After Auschwitz, the lesson used to
be: “Never again!” However, anti-Semitic resentment, like an epidemic, still grips the bourgeois
middle-class in our society. In his book “A Jew for One Hour”, Kurt Oesterle convincingly
demonstrates how hatred of Jews functions in aesthetic and emotional terms with no empathy
whatsoever. He also shows that for the past 200 years of German literature a line of tradition
can be acknowledged “in defence of Jewishness”. Kurt Oesterle accounts for this in his book of
stories with an impressive depth of knowledge, with a generous heart and mind and incredible
commitment. A truly significant book.
