Menachem Kaiser

I just did a zoom book talk with 100+ ppl and my mother came on and wrote this in the comments:

Rüdiger #Safranski legt eine imposante Annäherung an das Werk des Genies Franz #Kafka vor, @menachemkaiser sucht in Polen nach Spuren seiner jüdischen Familie, und Volker Reinhard erzählt Giordano Brunos Leben in seinen Widersprüchen. cicero.de/kultur/literat…

In @menachemkaiser's story «The original Dybbuk», a scholar, a librarian and a medium walk into the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw to negotiate with the spirit of a forgotten playwright. Last chance to read unpaywalled! europeanreviewofbooks.com/the-original-d…

Now unpaywalled: A scholar, a librarian and a medium walk into the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw to negotiate with the spirit of a forgotten playwright. Menachem Kaiser's (@menachemkaiser) story «The original Dybbuk» is about many different forms of afterlife. europeanreviewofbooks.com/the-original-d…

“In research for my book, I walked this site,” Menachem Kaiser writes in his review of “Cold Crematorium,” published in Yugoslavia in 1950 and translated into English for the first time. “A memoir by one of the people who ended up here should not exist.” nyti.ms/495S5YQ

“The German guards are largely absent; instead it is the prisoners who rule over other prisoners who in turn rule over other prisoners, all the way down.” Menachem Kaiser reviews a 1950 Holocaust memoir, translated into English for the first time. nyti.ms/3UbZbqD

Reviewed a couple new books -- one's extraordinary, other less so nytimes.com/2024/01/23/boo…

Eye-opening story on the world of Nazi memorabilia collectors by @menachemkaiser. nytimes.com/2023/09/29/opi…

“Nazi memorabilia are openly sold by dealers and auction houses countrywide, at trade shows and in storefronts and online,” writes @menachemkaiser. nyti.ms/3EZ7q0s

In Opinion The site LiveAuctioneers "has published more than 30,000 listings for Nazi memorabilia in the past 15 years, making it probably the biggest, and certainly the most mainstream, purveyor of Nazi artifacts in the country," writes Menachem Kaiser. nyti.ms/46zGobP

Just in time for Halloween, this op-ed on the amorality of the Nazi memorabilia collecting movement is incredibly well-written. And incredibly depressing. Especially the Apt Pupil moment at the end nytimes.com/2023/09/29/opi…

“From Wehrmacht epaulets and belt buckles to Hitler’s top hat and Eva Braun’s underwear, if an object played a material role in the Third Reich, no matter how incidental, no matter how banal or bizarre, then it’s probably for sale,” writes @menachemkaiser nyti.ms/46bxb9E
