for Jewish places to highlight in her
book and points out that the Bonstelle
Theatre was built as a synagogue.
(Famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn
designed the building on Woodward at
Eliot for Temple Beth El in the early part
of the 20th century.)
Luckerman also credits Keri Guten
Cohen, story development editor at the

a boy call a soldier a Nazi for following
orders without question.
The absurdity — and offensiveness
— of that slur is confirmed by a shot
of two female policemen crying on
each other's shoulders after uprooting
Jewish families.,
•At the same time, 5 Days conveys
the settlers' disappointment, outrage
and feeling of betrayal. Their religious
pain at having to cede part of what
they consider Eretz Yisroel to Arabs
