Accordingly, she has a major role in everything that is good about this book, while for the rest, I am solely responsible.

It is high time, I think, to reduce these to a realistic level. First of all, Buchenwald was not always called so, rather Ettersburg. It was under this name that it became known among the connoisseurs of literary history: Goethe often had his rendezvous with Frau von Stein there, under a beautiful, old oak tree. The symbolism has never been as tacky as today. It is a piece of cake to write glosses about it. They are handed to us from world history on a plate, right to our homes, to our pens, to our typewriters.
