Avraham Burg was a pillar of the Israeli establishment but his new book is causing a sensation. It argues that his country is an "abused child" which has become a "violent parent". And his solutions are radical, as he explains to Donald Macintyre.
Burg's new book, The Holocaust is Over: We Must Rise from Its Ashes, reviewed by Kirkus (November 1, 2008)
"An activist Israeli politician challenges his native country to be more than just the progeny of the Shoah and to chart a renewed course as a light unto the nations—to be an Israel in which Hitler’s ghost is finally exorcised.... A sharp, appropriately tendentious lecture with much wisdom, a bestseller in Israel and worthy of global consideration." - From: Kirkus Review
