From the great cartoonist-reporter, a sweeping, original investigation of a forgotten crime in the most vexed of places. Rafah, a town at the bottommost tip of the Gaza Strip, is a squalid place. Raw concrete buildings front trash-strewn alleys. The narrow streets are crowded with young children and unemployed men. On the border with Egypt, swaths of Rafah have been bulldozed to rubble. Rafah is today and has always been a notorious flashpoint in this bitterest of conflicts. Buried deep in the archives is one bloody incident, in 1956, that left 111 Palestinians dead, shot by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to a long history of killing, that day in Rafah-- cold-blooded massacre or dreadful mistake-- reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war. In a quest to get to the heart of what happened, Joe Sacco immerses himself in daily life of Rafah and the neighboring town of Khan Younis, uncovering Gaza past and present. Spanning fifty years, moving fluidly between one war and the next, alive with the voices of fugitives and schoolchildren, widows and sheikhs, Footnotes in Gaza captures the essence of a tragedy.

Elfriede Jelinek bezieht sich in ihrem Theaterstück Rechnitz (Der Würgeengel), für das sie 2009 den Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis erhielt, auf das Massaker an 180 jüdischen Zwangsarbeitern 1945 im Rahmen eines nationalsozialistischen Festes auf dem Rechnitzer Schloss von Margit Batthyány, geborene Thyssen-Bornemsiza. Dieses Ereignis, das zu einer Chiffre für die unaufgearbeitete Vergangenheit Österreichs wurde, ist bis heute nicht restlos geklärt. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge zu den historischen Hintergründen, der Suche nach dem jüdischen Massengrab und der Bedeutung des Totengedenkens im Judentum. Im Zentrum stehen Untersuchungen zu Jelineks Stück und dessen Themen wie der Verschränkung von Orgie, Massaker und Kannibalismus, dem „geschwätzigen Verschweigen“ der Tat und dem Umgang der Nachgeborenen mit dem Holocaust. In einem eigens für dieses Buch geführten Interview spricht Elfriede Jelinek über ihre Arbeit am Text. In Gesprächen u.a. mit dem Regisseur Jossi Wieler und dem Schauspieler André Jung wird auch auf die Uraufführung des Stücks an den Münchner Kammerspielen 2008 eingegangen. Zahlreiche Abbildungen, bislang unpublizierte Dokumente und Audio-Materialien (auf einer beiliegenden CD) geben Einblicke in den Fall Rechnitz und dessen Verarbeitung bei Elfriede Jelinek.
