Der Nazi & der Friseur

Only a Jew can write a satire about the holocaust, at least in Germany. Moreover, it is written from the perspective of a Nazi and mass murderer who severed in a concentration camp. After the war he disappears under false identity, as easy as he become a mass murderer he turns into into a normal citizen who just wants to carry on an get a moderate wealth. His false identity is Itzig Finkelstein, his former neighbour and best friend who was murdered in the concentration camp. Immediately after the war he trades on the black market, in those scenes he shows all the specifically ugly sides of a Jew – these prejudices which resides in the masses’ brain and which the Nazis used and exaggerated to its most absurd levels. Besides, he also looks like the caricatures in the Nazi propaganda newspaper “Der Stürmer”. Quit the opposite to the real Itzig Finkelstein who is blonde and blue-eyed.
A I already mentioned such heretic book would have difficulty to be published in Germany. Despite it sold already 2 mill. copies abroad it was rejected by 17 publishers before it was finally lunched by a brave, little book-house. It became a long-seller until today.
