Franz Kafka and Judaism information


A photograph of Kafka taken around 1910.

Franz Kafka's life (1883-1924) and connection to Judaism is covered in the main article Franz Kafka. Additional discussion is provided here.

Beginning with the correspondence between Walter Benjamin and Gershom Scholem (or possibly before that, when Martin Buber became one of Franz Kafka's first publishers) interpretations, speculations, and reactions to Kafka's Judaism became so substantial during the 20th century as to virtually constitute an entire minor literature. Meditations about how and to what extent Kafka anticipated or represented the incoming Holocaust of the European Jewry comprise a major component of most scholarship along these lines.
