[HIGHLIGHTS] “The submerged cabaret”: the crazy story of Curt Bloch’s satirical diary written in secret during the Second World War

Curt Bloch was a German Jew hidden in the Netherlands during the Second World War. During 19 months, from August 1943 to April 1945, he created 96 issues of his magazine, Het Onderwater Cabaret.

Nearly 500 poems were written by hand by Curt Bloch, who for almost two years acted as editor-in-chief, editor, designer and poet. An exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Berlin as well as a website dedicated to his work have opened their doors this February 8.
