The whole world knows the books of the Prague writer Franz Kafka. However, few people know that he spent the last year of his life in Berlin. It was here that he found his last love and deepened his relationship with Judaism.
In July 1923, he fell in love with Dora Diamant. Dora was a Jewish woman from a very religious family in Poland who wanted to become an actress in Berlin. When she met Kafka, she was working in the Scheunenviertel in a youth club for Jewish immigrant children. Kafka moved to Berlin to live with Dora in September 1923, even though he was already seriously ill with tuberculosis. Together they attended courses at the Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums, which was just around the corner from the New Synagogue. For Kafka, the college was "a place of peace in wild Berlin..."
Berlin in the 1920s was "wild" not only because of its nightlife. The city experienced several attempted coups, an inflation crisis was boiling over and political violence was the order of the day. Anti-Semitism was also on the rise everywhere; on November 5, 1923, there was even a pogrom against the Jewish population in the Scheunenviertel near Alexanderplatz.
But despite all these problems, Berlin was also home to a vibrant Jewish community. This community, despite (or perhaps because of) its own political and religious divisions, had an impressive diversity: Yiddish theaters, schools, synagogues, as well as many political and cultural organizations. On this tour, we visit some of these places in 1920s Jewish Berlin - a Berlin that was also Kafka's home for a short time.Translated with DeepL
