| Summary: | Hans Mayer (1907-2001), one of the most eminent literary critics and public intellectuals in post-war Germany, visited Israel four times between 1968 and 1995. This article aims to reconstruct the key elements of Mayer's ambivalent (albeit mainly positive) perception of Israeli society and culture as it is documented in his travelogue Reisen nach Jerusalem from 1997 and several further texts. However, Mayer's view on Israel can only be understood adequately by also considering his situation as a non-religious Jew and Shoah survivor in Germany. |
