Pretending it’s normal – life in Israel since October 7, 2023. With Lizzie Doron and Nina Kunzendorf
“Even tomorrow we might no longer be here!” Nothing in Israel has been the same since October 7, 2023. While sirens screamed in Tel Aviv, the Israeli government waged a war that was killing even more people. Over one and a half years have passed since then. The horrific months of war were followed by a fragile ceasefire. Is there a future we can still believe in today? In Wir spielen Alltag [“Pretending it’s Normal”], author Lizzie Doron (“Who the Fuck is Kafka?”), who has long fought for peace and understanding, describes life in a state of emergency. In the midst of fear, loss and political divides, she writes about the reality of a traumatized society. About encounters with those who are grieving, absurd moments in air-raid shelters, and silence between friends on both sides of the conflict. German text: Nina Kunzendorf; Host: Shelly Kupferberg
