    The internationally renowned author of numerous novels, essays, and articles, Georg Hermann, was born as Georg Borchardt in Berlin-Friedenau on October 7, 1871, the youngest of six children in a well-established Jewish family. Later in life he used his father’s first name Hermann as his surname when writing. Contrary to the expectations for a young man from a reputable family, Hermann did not pursue the Abitur exam in a Gymnasium (secondary school), but instead received a one-year certificate in 1890, leaving school to become an apprentice salesman at a tie company. From 1896 until 1899 he worked in the Statistical Office of Berlin, at the same time attending literature and art history lectures at the University of Berlin. Afterwards he worked as a freelance writer and art critic.His first book, 'Spielkinder', was published in 1896, but he did not become well-known until 1906, with the publication of 'Jettchen Gebert', followed by its sequel, 'Henriette Jacoby'. These novels told the story of the life of a young woman living in Jewish Berlin during the Biedermeier period of the 1820s and 1830s. Politically active, Georg Hermann was also a member of the Central-Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens.Having become known for his pacifist tendencies through his writing, and because of his Jewish heritage, Georg Hermann and his family fled to Holland shortly after the burning of the Reichstag in 1933. Although the rest of his family was saved from the Nazis after their occupation of Holland in 1943, Georg Hermann was sent to the Dutch concentration camp of Westerbork. On November 16, 1943 he was transported to Auschwitz and either died during transport or shortly after his arrival.Digital ImageRecord added to DigiTool. Aleph record suppressed. J.

    Hans-Georg Soldat rezensiert für die Berliner Morgenpost Reinhard Jirgls im Jahr 2000 erschienen Roman "Die atlantische Mauer". Reinhard Jirgl, aus der DDR kommend, ist möglicherweise das, was man einen literarischen Nihilisten nennen könnte. Die atemlosen Monologe seines Buches "Die atlantische Mauer" lassen kaum einen Ausweg, sie sind bis in die letzten Verästelungen konsequent. Ahnung von Besserem gibt es nicht. Das Denken und Fühlen der handelnden, ach was, vor sich hin redenden Personen ist - ohne, dass sie es merken - von tiefstem Schwarz. Vier Figuren monologisieren geschlossen und nacheinander: Formales Bindeglied ist die Sprache und deren Darstellung - sie orientiert sich an Arno Schmidt und arbeitet mit den Zeichen »=« oder »&« und schreibt »1malig«. Sonderbarerweise wirkt es dennoch kaum einmal prätentiös, sondern trägt zum Eindruck der Atemlosigkeit bei. Tatsächlich gelingt wohl nur so die adäquate Wiedergabe eines Bewussteinsstroms
