One of the more healthy means of dealing with Holocaust traumas, I’d say. As a journalist, this is a story I’m kicking myself for having missed.
Read under the table by a generation of pubescent Israelis, often the children of survivors, the Stalags were named for the World War II prisoner-of-war camps in which they were set. The books told perverse tales of captured American or British pilots being abused by sadistic female SS officers outfitted with whips and boots. The plot usually ended with the male protagonists taking revenge, by raping and killing their tormentors.
The most famous Stalag, “I Was Colonel Schultz’s Private Bitch,” was deemed to have crossed all the lines of acceptability, prompting the police to try to hunt every copy down.

Btw… we had a TV-special here about Boris Lurie in June. [Only because the Times has not mentioned his name, I think]

Hi Charles, It’s Stephen Levinson, we met in Jerusalem a few months ago. I just won a free weekend in Dubai with my brother, we’re leaving today. Not sure if you’ve ever been, but if you have, and you have suggestions for things to do, especially off the beaten path, I’d really appreciate sending me a few.
Love the blog—it’s part of my daily list, thanks
Stephen
