The exhibition catalog depicts the objects from the show and includes essays and literature delving deeper into the subject. The authors consider circumcision from a variety of viewpoints, reflecting on its significance in Islam and Judaism, and analyzing the debate that raged in Germany after the Cologne circumcision verdict was announced in summer 2012.
