Margarete BuberNeumann

    Margarete Buber-Neumann's work delves into the horrors of totalitarian regimes. As a survivor of immense suffering in both Soviet and Nazi concentration camps, she offers an authentic perspective on human endurance and resilience. Her literary output serves as a testament to the loss of freedom and the strength of the human spirit against unimaginable atrocities. Her writing functions as a cautionary tale against the dangers of political extremism and a vital reminder of the importance of liberty and human rights.

    Milena. The Tragic Story of Kafka's Great Love
    • 1997

      Margarete Buber, the journalist daughter of Martin Buber, and Milena Jesenska, the beautiful lover of Kafka, met in Ravensbruck concentration camp in 1940. For four terrible years, the two women formed an extraordinary bond and made a pact that if only one survived, the other would bear witness. Only Margarete lived to remember. This is her story of Milena--of fearless love, sacrifice, and nobility.
