Opening shot of German media to Tuvia Tenenbom's "Allein unter Juden" / "Catch the Jew!"
For immediate release - Nov. 1, 2014
Our artistic director's new book, the critically acclaimed #1 Best Seller of Israel, comes to Germany on Nov. 10 by Suhrkampverlag.
The book, which will also be presented on stage in Germany, Austria and the USA, provides solid proofs of German NGOs' anti-Semitic engagements and activities inside Israel and their shameful enticements of Palestinians against Jews.
The opening shot of German media's response was provided today, Nov. 1, by questionable minds of Deutschlandradio. They did - what a surprise - what certain Germans have been doing for years: Get a Jew to say the nasty stuff against other Jews and make the Germans look cool, great, sophisticated, lovers of humanity and champions of literature, taste and human rights, while the Jews would look a bit retarded, very unsophisticated, and creatures who go on everybody's nerves.
As always in cases such as this, Deutschlandradio did not fail to mention that their point man is Jewish - ("the Jewish reviewer Sergey Lagodinsky") - a practice the average anti-Semite has brought to perfection in recent years. In other words: It's not us saying this, it's the "Jew" who said it.
How nice!
We hope that a day comes and Germany's gate keepers of culture will change tune and direction and finally cure themselves of their Jew-hatred.
It's time.
If they have something bad to say about Jews, or if they want to keep hiding their hate of of the Jew, let tht them stand on their own.
That said, we are happy to announce that the outstanding artistic director of the famed Volkstheater in Vienna, Michael Schottenberg, will perform segments of the book in his theater on Nov. 7 at 7:30p.
Official launch in Berlin will take place on Nov. 20 at Berlin's prestigious theater, Volksbühne, at 8:00p.

Sample reviews (by Israeli critics not selected by Germans):
"The most important book I have read in the last five years." Channel 2 TV
"A literary sensation." Haaretz
"A brilliant book." Maariv
"A fascinating, picturesque book by a picturesque author." Yediot Ahronot
"The best book in the bookstore." Galei Zahal (Army radio)
"Funny, shocking, depressing documentation of anti-Semitism and self-hatred." Makor Rishon
"Run to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy . . . I haven't laughed this hard out loud in a long time . . . This book is a must for anyone who wants to formulate an independent opinion on the reality in this region." Israel Hayom
"It's been a long time since a book affected me so deeply." Walla
"The humor in Catch the Jew! is razor sharp, it is highly intellectual and it’s so funny that it will bring tears to your eyes. Tuvia, the ultimate leftist and humanist who loves all people, is everything the left pretends to be but is not. He exposes the European and Israeli leftists and human rights activists for what they are, racist and ignorant, and this creates an obvious tension that is at the core of this book. No wonder that some leftists are calling for his murder . . . Tuvia is curious as a cat, sly as a fox, friendly as a Labrador, and is also a man with seismographic sensitivities."
