Fun fact, this time of the sad kind: When humorous Austrian retro cabaret artist Lisa Eckhart appears in ZDF’s “Literary Quartet” at 11:30 this Friday night, the German Jew literary critic Marcel Reich- Ranicki eventually lost the fight against the Nazis.
That he survived the many assassination attempts of the Hitlerites against him, it does not matter. It was far more important for the Börnes in the last postwar period to save German literature from them, from their hollow and popular bourgeoisie. Because they hated and feared the books and judgments of the Jews, just as they hated and feared the Jews. They did not want a trace of their wild thinking and clear writing to remain in German heads and libraries, so they set their books on fire in front of their bodies. Marcel Reich-Ranicki did not want to accept that. Wherever he wrote or spoke – in Gruppe 47, in “Zeit”, in the FAZ, in Klagenfurt, in the “Literary Quartet” – he took the burning works of Feuchtwanger, Roth, Isaak Babel out of the Nazi fire and told the new Germans over them in their wild and clear Jewish way so they wouldn’t become anti-Semitic like their parents and grandparents. He almost made it.
