Ghosts: A Story of Exile, Alienation and Betrayal in Apartheid South Africa

2018. Sigrid Rausing and her husband Eric Abraham were in Cape Town for several months. Reflecting on the drought and state capture, Rausing also began an investigation into her husband's 1970s surveillance file, gradually piecing together a wider story of the origins and legacy of apartheid, Hungarian 1930s antisemitism, paternal violence, and betrayal. Ghosts is a profound reflection on the nature of trauma, family dysfunction, political repression, and the act of writing about others.
