SUMMARY:“Look Away” – Reading and Conversation with Jacob Kushner
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Kushner’s highly praised book Look Away follows Beate Z
 schäpe and her two accomplices—and occasional lovers—as they became r
 adicalized within Germany’s far-right scene\, escaped into hiding\, and 
 carried out their terrorist spree. From 2000 to 2011\, they embarked on th
 e most horrific string of white nationalist killings since the Holocaust. 
 Their target: immigrants. Unable to believe that the brutal killings and b
 ombings were the work of white Germans\, police blamed—and sometimes fra
 med—immigrants instead. Readers of Kushner’s book meet Gamze Kubaşık
 \, whose family emigrated from Turkey to seek safety\, only to find themse
 lves in the terrorists’ sights. It also tracks Katharina König\, an Ant
 ifa punk who would help expose the National Socialist Underground (NSU) an
 d their accomplices to the world. A masterwork of reporting and storytelli
 ng\, Look Away reveals how a group of young Germans executed a shocking se
 ries of white-supremacist violent acts and how a nation and its government
  ignored them until it was too late.\n\nJacob Kushner is a foreign corres
 pondent who writes magazine and other longform articles from Africa\, Germ
 any\, and the Caribbean. His work has appeared in dozens of publications\,
  including the New York Times\, The Atlantic\, The New Yorker\, Harper’
 s Magazine\, The Economist\, National Geographic\, The Atavist\, The Natio
 n\, Foreign Policy\, and The Guardian. He is the author of China’s Co
 ngo Plan\, which was favorably received by the New York Review of Books. 
 A former American Council on Germany Fellow and Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung F
 ellow\, he began investigating the NSU as a Fulbright Fellow in Berlin a
 nd completed his research as a Max Planck Journalist in Residence in Frei
 burg and Heidelberg.\n\nPlease register via books@rotorbooks.de\n\nhttps:/
