Abstract
It is incredible that some decided to come back to post-war Germany in the first place, and live in the land of the perpetrators. Nathan der Weise was one of the most popular plays both on East- and West German stages. Director Boleslaw Barlog turned down Deutsch's offer to produce Merchant. Deutsch could not understand that the theme was taboo due to the outrageous deeds of the thousand-year Reich wrote Barlog. The presence of Jewish artists is particularly noticeable in the musical scene and in literature. Jewish authors (Edgar Hilsenrath, Barabara Honigmann, Maxim Biller, to name but a few) receive considerable attention from the press, quite popular with local readers. And, naturally, it is particularly in literary works that Jewish themes and concerns find expression. Moreover, a comparison with to the so-called Golden Twenties, the heyday of Jewish participation in German theater, only highlights the chasm in German-Jewish history.
