>(His lover, Dora Diamant, also ignored his wishes, secretly keeping up to 20 notebooks and 35 letters until they were confiscated by the Gestapo in 1933. An ongoing international search is being conducted for these missing Kafka papers.)

They're probably just diaries and journals, most likely nothing all that interesting.

>> No.2828490

They were probably burned. Why would the Gestapo ever want to keep a bunch of notebooks?

Also why did you use the word "pleb"? That word is getting really stale especially since everyone tosses it around casually.

Franz Kafka would have been well known in 1933 since The Trial, The Castle and Amerika were recently released. They may have wanted to keep hold of the documents personally rather than act in a professional capacity.

The use of the word 'pleb' was entirely appropriate. I was not aware it was something special to be rationed, so forgive me.

>That feeling when you think the story of those missing papers would make a pretty good Kafka story.
