Literature opens up a different reality. Here, the two authors were able to survive. We meet Kafka in the US and in Israel, we encounter Schulz, who escaped from the ghetto in Galicia, saved together with the perished manuscript of his novel «The Messiah». In texts, written by Avigdor Dagan, David Grossmann, Cynthia Ozick, and Philipp Roth.
