IdaLou Larsen, Sterkt og usentimentalt om jødenes skjebne (literally: Strong and unsentimental about the fate of Jews), Klassekampen May 16 2011:
"Overall, Rabinowitz is a strong and politically involved production that also stand out in that it manages to grab hold without resorting to pathos and sentimentality."
Writer and date unknown, Bergens Tidende:
"A play that makes an impression (...) an artistically very satisfactory result- a production with a clear message to us in the age of xenophobia."
Truls Horvei, Fascinasjon og magi (literally: Fascination and magic), Haugesunds Avis April 8 2011:
"At its best, some truly magical moments are created. Other times, I doubt where the director is trying to go. (...) I am a bit uncertain how well it works. At times, there is a lot of information provided in a short span of time. The main impression is though that this is a production where all parts are coherent."
Writer and date unknown, Mediehuset TVH:
"Rabinowitz impresses (...) There is quality in all parts (...) A production it is hard to leave without feeling moved."
