| 要約: | On September 26, 1940, Walter Benjamin committed suicide in Port-Bou,
after he escaped the German occupation and the Vichy regime. He was first
buried in the town's cemetery in 1945, then, after the money found on him came
to an end, his body was transferred to a paupers' grave. Today, Spain honors
Walter Benjamin's memory with a memorial situated in Port-Bou facing the sea.
Through this specific and tragic story of Benjamin, the Jewish intellectual,
Saletti, the historian, relates not only the tormented relationship that existed
between Jewish intellectuals and Europe, but also the stages through which the
construction of the Old Continent's memory went through. |
