"Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and
Palestinian Trauma and Resilience", is available now.

Boston JVP member Alice Rothchild, who co-organized the JVP Health and Human Rights Project, has written an important new book that Nobel prize winner Dr. Bernard Lown has said "is a soul searching, painfully honest examination of ordinary people bonded in a tragic embrace....that deserves the widest readership."

Dr Rothchild says:

This book is an intimate journey grappling with the complicated historical legacy of Israel and Palestine and my relationship to these issues as a Jewish American physician, grounded by the traumas of the Holocaust and my family's passionate love of Israel.

The book also looks at Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jewish Israeli attitudes, the lives of a number of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza and the "personal and political consequences of crossing lines [which] raises troubling questions regarding US policy and the mainstream Jewish community's insistence on standing, unquestioning, behind Israeli policy."
