This publication strains the German-Hebrew touch zones within which Gershom Scholem, Werner Kraft and Ludwig Strauss lived and produced their inventive paintings in early twentieth-century Germany and later in British Mandate Palestine after their voluntary or compelled migration within the Twenties and Thirties. Set in transferring historic contexts and literary debates – the concept of the German vernacular country, Hebraism and Jewish Revival in Weimar Germany, the main issue of language in modernist literature, and the fledgling multilingual groups in Jerusalem, the writings of Scholem, Kraft and Strauss end up targeted kinds of counterlanguage. the 3 chapters of the booklet are devoted to Scholem’s Hebraist lamentation, Kraft’s Germanist steadfastness and Strauss’s polyglot discussion, respectively. The exam in their correspondences, diaries, scholarship and literary oeuvres demonstrates how counteractive writing practices helped confront concrete and metaphorical crises of language to provide compelling choices to literary silence, amnesia or paralysis that have been caused via cultural marginality and dislocation.
