The book deals with the stories of a few dozen Jews, Zionists, politicians, writers, poets, and public activists who passed away in the Diaspora, far and detached from the national homeland that they fought for before their death. Only later, in an act of repair, their remains were sent to be buried in the sacred Zionist soil. Their graves became pilgrimage sites and contributed to the design of Israel s symbolic landscape.

In his new book Doron Mendels addresses the topic of the authority of texts and their transmission, as well as different strategies of narration in ancient texts. Mendels provides extensive treatment of issues such as linearity, emporality and simultaenity of texts, whilst working to examine four core themes.

Lizzie Doron hat ihr Leben lang gekämpft - für eine Heimat ohne Verfolgung, für Frieden mit den palästinensischen Nachbarn, für Freiheit und Demokratie. Dann kam der 7. Oktober.

Spätestens seit Hannah Arendts Eichmann-Buch und ihrer Kritik an der Rolle der Judenräte in der Zeit der Verfolgung und Ermordung der europäischen Juden wird die Frage der Zusammenarbeit von jüdischen Repräsentanten mit dem NS-Regime äußerst kontrovers diskutiert.
