It may be because of fear of authorities and fear of being killed themselves. But many people “stand by” watching (or hiding their eyes) even when they are not personally in danger. They may not involve themselves because the “us-them” propaganda has been successful, and so they do not identify with the victims or recognize their humanity. (The closer or more related a bystander feels to a victim, the more likely he or she is to act to help.) Maybe the bystanders see victims the way the perpetrators want them to see them — as animals or criminals. At times of crisis, bystanders may believe that getting rid of this group of people will solve the country’s or their own personal problems. In many situations, bystanders have something to gain from the victims’ deaths, such as land, money, jobs or consumer goods. And of course, sometimes they just have no idea what they could do to protest or intervene.","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eGenocide\u003c\/em\u003e was first published in the Groundwork Guides series in 2006.

With astonishing compassion and insight, Kathy Friedman has conceived a cast of characters so real they leap off the page. These exquisite stories reveal the fragilities of human connection and our desperate need for redemption. This is a stunningly assured collection that is at once fiercely political and intensely intimate, darkly comic, and devastating.” — \u003cstrong\u003eAyelet Tsabari, author of The Art of Leaving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Accolades_3_Auth":"Ayelet Tsabari, author of The Art of Leaving","OtherText_Accolades_4":"\u003cp\u003e“Powerful and haunting, Kathy Friedman’s characters leap off the page with their journey for belonging.

I found myself torn between devouring the book in a single sitting and savouring slowly to prolong the magic. True to its name, these stories so beautifully capture the prismatic ways humans illuminate, whether through life-changing kindnesses like seeing those who feel invisible or the harsh light of having one’s flaws suddenly come into focus. In a pointillistic fashion, each story simultaneously offers a profound glimpse of the Jewish diaspora experience while contributing to larger themes like the inherent tension of trying to belong anywhere, both geographically and spiritually.” — \u003cstrong\u003eLeesa Dean, author of Waiting for the Cyclone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Accolades_6_Auth":"Leesa Dean, author of Waiting for the Cyclone","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eA debut author to watch!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores timely themes such as migration, diaspora, and belonging within Toronto’s Jewish South African community.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures the immigrant experience with deep sympathy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eA debut author to watch!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores timely themes such as migration, diaspora, and belonging within Toronto’s Jewish South African community.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures the immigrant experience with deep sympathy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003e“In a dozen loosely connected short stories, [Kathy Friedman] weaves a colourful and rich tapestry of the community — and does so masterfully … While the individual tales shine on their own, each is enriched by the ones that follow, forming a beautiful constellation of work.” — \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCanadian Jewish News\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Canadian Jewish News","OtherText_Review_1":"\u003cp\u003e“Kathy Friedman takes a stirring, up-close look at where our many identities intersect in this short-story collection … Deeply moving.” — \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eApple Books\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_1_Src":"Apple Books","OtherText_Review_2":"\u003cp\u003e“A cubist collage in transition which captures the dynamics of contemporary Jewish Diaspora … Betwixt and between, neither here nor there, Friedman’s characters shine through Kafka’s shadows, liminal migration, and the contrapposti of linked short stories.” — \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMiramichi Reader\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_2_Src":"Miramichi Reader","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeautifully written, these stories depict a search for human connection and an attempt to fit in far from home.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","PrizeCodeText_0":"Short-listed","PrizeCodeText_1":"Short-listed","PrizeCodeText_2":"Short-listed","PrizeCode_0":"04","PrizeCode_1":"04","PrizeCode_2":"04","PrizeName_0":"Writers' Union of Canada Danuta Gleed Literary Award","PrizeName_1":"Ontario Trillium Award","PrizeName_2":"ReLit Award for Short Fiction","PrizeYear_0":"2022","PrizeYear_1":"2023","PrizeYear_2":"2023","ProductFormDescription":"Lossless Format Audio, WAV","PublicationDate":"2022-04-05","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeautifully written, these stories depict a search for human connection and an attempt to fit in far from home.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","Width":"5.5","WidthCode":"in"}
