It was a time of excitement, but also of deep uncertainty: some four million East Germans found themselves out of work. The friends began attending far-right rallies with people who called themselves National Socialists: Nazis. And, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLook Away\u003c\/i\u003e follows Beate Zsch舊e and her two accomplices--and sometimes lovers--as they became 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 Kig, an Antifa punk who would help expose the NSU and their accomplices to the world. A masterwork of reporting and storytelling, \u003ci\u003eLook Away\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Kushner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538708116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538708118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2024","brand":"Jacob Kushner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44756890386687,"sku":"9781538708118","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b018a8a8-207a-487e-b30b-ff4b48321c04.jpg?v=1706594085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/look-away-jacob-kushner-9781538708118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
