A proposito di questo titolo
Not long after the Berlin Wall fell, three teenagers became friends in the East German town of Jena. It was a time of excitement, but also of economic crisis: some four million East Germans found themselves out of jobs. The friends began attending far-right rallies with people who called themselves National Socialists: Nazis. Like the Hitler-led Nazis before them, they blamed minorities for their ills. From 2000 to 2011, they embarked on the most horrific string of white nationalist killings since the Holocaust. Their target: immigrants.
Look Away follows Beate Zschäpe and her two accomplices—and sometimes lovers—as they radicalized within Germany’s far-right scene, escaped into hiding, and carried out their terrorist spree. Unable to believe that the brutal killings and bombings were being carried out by white Germans, police blamed—and sometimes framed—the immigrants instead. Readers meet Gamze Kubaşık, whose family emigrated from Turkey to seek safety, only to find themselves in the terrorists’ sights. It also tracks Katharina König, an Antifa punk who would help expose the NSU and their accomplices to the world. A masterwork of reporting and storytelling, Look Away reveals how a group of young Germans carried out a shocking spree of white supremacist violence, and how a nation and its government ignored them until it was too late.
Recensioni della critica
“Jacob Kushner’s Look Away is, at one level, a compelling true-crime thriller about a trio of German terrorists on the run. But it’s also a warning about the dangers of white supremacy and right-wing extremism – and about how the fear and hatred of immigrants, combined with the incompetence (or worse) of law enforcement, remains a threat around the world.”—Jeffrey Toobin
“This fascinating book tells two stories: first, how a gang of East German thugs turned neo-Nazi ‘bomb tinkerers’ grew into a network of domestic terrorists, and second, how German authorities let them get away with murder. Jacob Kushner tells the story with cautious condemnation and intimate detail.” —Michael Scott Moore, author of The Desert and the Sea
“Jacob Kushner delivers a harrowing account of right-wing radicalization and violence in modern Germany. This expertly reported story of three friends who committed unspeakable hate crimes is a cautionary tale about ignoring the lessons of history and realities of the present. Kushner reminds us that we can't build a better world without taking a full and accurate stock of the one we have now. Look Away is an urgent book.”—Seyward Darby, author of Sisters in Hate
“With meticulous reporting and an unflinching eye, Jacob Kushner brings to horrific life the story of a white nationalist killing spree in East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. With a novelist’s skills for drama and scene, Kushner shows the dangers of complacency in the face of gathering violence. Such terrible truths, so deftly told, remind us why we should not—and cannot afford to—look away.”—Kim Cross, NYT bestselling author of In Light of All Darkness and What Stands in a Storm
"Jacob Kushner's Look Away is a damning account of a problem seen in the U.S. and around the world: how law enforcement's obsession with informants can blind them to real threats of domestic terror.”—Trevor Aaronson, author of The Terror Factory
“Jacob Kushner’s Look Away is a riveting account of one of contemporary Germany’s most brutal crimes: the serial murders of nine immigrants by a trio of neo-Nazis in the early 2000s. Kushner meticulously reconstructs the young psychopaths’ progression from assault to bank robbery to homicide, and the circle of fellow racists who abetted their crimes. Above all this is an indictment of the racist, incompetent cops who ignored the killers hiding in plain sight, and chose to stigmatize the victims and their families. A searing and infuriating read of a nation still grappling with the ghosts of its past.”—Joshua Hammer, author of The Falcon Thief
