Dora Diamant and her infant daughter in Berlin, 1934

DORA'S PAPERS

Dora's cahier, or diary, missing for almost 50 years, was uncovered, along with 15 letters to Marthe Robert, Kafka's French translator, written between 1951-1952, in Paris. Two years later, a second diary was discovered by Klaus Wagenbach, which had laid forgotten in archive in Berlin. These diaries, written in the last year of her life, represent Dora's attempt to "say once what is necessary to say about Kafka. Everything. Without reservation." In January 2000, working with professional archival researchers, Dora's secret 35-page file from the Comintern in the Central Archives of the Communist Party in Moscow was obtained
