Kathi Diamant is founder and director of the “Kafka Project” at San Diego State University in the USA. She talks to Dina Elsayed about her special relationship with the last woman in Franz Kafka’s life: Dora Diamant (are Kathi and Dora perhaps related?). Kathi has spent decades searching for letters and notebooks belonging to Franz Kafka, which were confiscated from Dora Diamant by the Gestapo in 1933. It is believed that these documents travelled from Berlin via Silesia and Moscow to Israel, where the trail goes cold – but the search continues!
