We are very much looking forward to the visit of Stefan Litt, renowned Kafka expert and archive consultant for the German-language estates at the National Library of Israel. Thanks to the 15 loans from the archives of the National Library of Israel for the Access Kafka exhibition, this is the first time that so many original drawings by Franz Kafka can be shown in Germany. During the joint tour with curator Shelley Harten, the two will talk about Kafka's work and their collaboration on the exhibition. At the same time, you can look forward to finding out more about the exhibition Kafka: Metamor­phosis of an Author at the National Library of Israel.
