At this event, author and researcher Kathi Diamant discusses her book Kafka’s Last Love: The Mystery of Dora Diamant and explores the relationship between Franz Kafka and his companion and confidante Dora Diamant (1898-1952). She details their life in Berlin and, after his death in 1924, Dora's passionate commitment to keep Kafka’s literary flame alive while caught in the maelstroms of fascism, communism and the Holocaust. Kathi Diamant is Director of the Kafka Project at San Diego State University, an ongoing international search for Kafka's missing literary treasure: 35 letters and 20 notebooks written by Kafka in the last year of his life, and confiscated from Dora by the Gestapo in Berlin 1933. Just returning from investigations in Berlin, Kathi shares her latest findings and her extraordinary adventures through archives and history.
