Yolanda

Moshe Sakal

NOVEL

Keter publishing, 2011 - Hebrew

Yolanda is a novel that masterfully interweaves the struggles of the immigrant generation in Israel with the younger generation’s search for roots. At its heart is Yolanda, the narrator's grandmother and a charismatic matriarch, whose life story unfolds against the backdrop of Israeli society—with its layered languages, cultures, and rituals. Wirtten in prose  infused with humor and intimacy, Sakal's book is a deeply nuanced exploration of identity.

The Last Defendant

Alma Ganihar

NOVEL

Altneuland Press, 2026 - Hebrew

An elderly woman is brought to trial for her role in the atrocities that took place in a Nazi concentration camp. Taken from her quiet life in a nursing home, she is tried in juvenile court, where she appears each day with a surgical mask and dark sunglasses, a figure at once banal and monstrous, as if hiding from history itself. As the trial progresses, her silence transforms into a resonating indictment. Inspired by the 2021 trial of Irmgard Furchner, who was charged at age 96 with 11,412 counts of accessory to murder, The Last Defendant is a short, chilling novel about complicity, denial, and the long shadow of justice. Alma Ganihar crafts a morally piercing narrative that asks resonating questions about silence in face of injustice, and the meaning of justice when it arrives eighty years too late.
