"Nurit Peled-Elhanan’s book is an impressive blend of history, image analysis and social critique. It sharply, and often innovatively, analyses how Israeli school books visually represent the Holocaust, Palestinians and Jewish immigrants from North Africa. It meticulously documents the relevant historical and contemporary context of these images. And it takes a heartfelt critical stance against everything that objectivates people and distances them from each other, and for everything that can restore their identities, stories and dignity, and so perhaps make understanding, and, dare one hope, peace, imaginable." Theo van Leeuwen.
