Ruth Barnett, Speaker challenging prejudice and racism I am Kornotzer's daughter, Selma in Ursula Krechel's book "Landgericht". It is a most interesting discussion with Dorothee Lorrmann-Kaeseler. Mising from the book is that my brother, Martin and Georg in the book, suffered from the same unwelcoming behaviour of post war Germans towards returning refugees. A;lso that Krechel depended on my own book "Person of No Nationality" for her chapter about Selma and Georg. But I very much appreciate that Krechel has given my father Literary Justice 40 years after his death.Ruth Barnett
