Video recording of Lives in Common: Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem. The author Menachem Klein in conversation with Cilly Kugelmann, 8 May 2018; Jewish Museum Berlin 2018.
The author describes a society in which intensive business and private exchange once prevailed between the two groups. The increasing alienation that culminated in the founding of the Jewish state in 1948 is still very real today.
