First edition. Original paper wrappers, 8vo, 28 pages. 23 cm. In German with a bit of Biblical Hebrew. Title translates as “A Matter of Destiny for the Jewish People.” Includes bibliographical references.
German Zionist pamphlet by Blatt, a German-Jewish intellectual, former communist, and member of the resistance against the Nazis, who ultimately escaped through China to Australia.
In Australia, Blatt lived a life of relative silence and obscurity regarding his wartime experiences until his story was researched and published by award-winning writer Alex Miller, whom the Guardian called, “one of Australia’s finest novelists.” Miller writes that Blatt, the subject of Miller’s 2020 book, “Max,” played a key role in Miller’s desire to become a writer.
