The Guilt

In deciding to write The Guilt, provoked by Russia's 'anti-nazi' attack on Ukraine, the author pleads for European civilisation to move beyond its historical sense of guilt.
Especially beyond the need to deflect that guilt, ever again towards Jews. Commenting on post-holocaust Jewish, Christian and secular identity, he holds up a mirror to the history of pro- and anti-Semitism in Christo-European and Muslim civilisations. The author describes, among other things, how this history formed the need for modern Israel.
>De Klerk maintains that these waves of anti-Semitism are ultimately rooted in the seeds, sown during Christianity's early history. In conclusion, he encourages the search for solutions to permanently halt the pendulum-like swings of anti-Semitism within Western civilisation.

Personal experiences and analysis challenge conventional assumptions about these issues. Despite the heavy subject, the author adds humour when he supports his arguments with bizarre and curious historical facts.
