        Die Gespenster von Berlin

        Unheimliche Geschichten

        by Sarah Khan

        Ein Gespenst geht um in Friedrichshain und setzt teure Autos in Brand. Ein politisch motivierter Sühneakt? Sarah Khan geht der Sache nach und macht in alten Archiven der Stadt eine fürchterliche Entdeckung: Im Tunnel des Stettiner Bahnhofs, heute Nordbahnhof, wurden 1945 verwundete Wehrmachtssoldaten ermordet. Im Mietshaus in Prenzlauer Berg will niemand lange wohnen bleiben, auch Sarah Khans Freundin Heike nicht. Durchs Treppenhaus spukt eine im Zweiten Weltkrieg verhungerte Klavierlehrerin. Wer war diese Frau? Sarah Khan sucht in alten Berliner Adressbüchern, auf Deportationslisten und findet ihren Namen schließlich im Totenbuch der Elias-Gemeinde aus dem Jahr 1945. Ob mal jemand was gehört hat, von Spukhäusern, unerklärlichen Vorkommnissen? hat Sarah Khan Freunde und Bekannte, zugezogene und alteingesessene Berliner gefragt. Die Auskünfte haben es in sich. Haarsträubende Ereignisse, unerklärliche Vorkommnisse, jenseitige Erfahrungen. Die Gespenster haben eine Botschaft, sagt Sarah Khan, sie macht sich zur Vermittlerin. Mit Geschichten, die uns Schauer über den Rücken jagen. "Sarah Khan forscht Gespenstern nach und fördert deutsche Geschichte zutage. Meisterhaft recherchiert, großartig geschrieben, zutiefst unheimlich." Daniel Kehlmann

        Das Stammeln der Wahrsagerin

        Unglaubliche Geschichten hinter Kleinanzeigen. Recherchiert und erzählt von Sarah Khan

        by Sarah Khan

        Wohnungsauflösungen und Tabula rasa, Not- und Spontanverkäufe. Was treibt Menschen dazu, sich über Kleinanzeigen für kleines Geld von ihren Dingen zu trennen? Ernsthaft, in Kaufabsicht, hat Sarah Khan viele Inserierende getroffen und genau hingehört, als sie anfingen, ihre Lebensgeschichten zu erzählen – u nd aus Oral History Literatur gemacht. Entstanden sind Geschichten von Abschied und Neuanfang, Glück und Unglück, von hochfahrenden oder bereits geplatzten Träumen. Seit Sarah Khan mit ihrer Familie ein altes Schulhaus in Brandenburg renoviert und als Wochenendhaus einrichtet, studiert sie ständig eBay-Kleinanzeigen. Sie findet dort nicht nur Haushaltsgegenstände, sondern auch ungetragene Hochzeitskleider, Pferdebücher, Kosmetikartikel, Fotoalben. Und sie stellt fest: Hinter diesen Anzeigen verbergen sich Menschen. Die traurige Yvonne mit ihrem Hochzeitskleid; eine junge Frau, die ernsthaft glaubt, mit ihrer Pferdebuchsammlung könne sie ihre Altersversorgung sichern; eine Wahrsagerin, die ihre Dienste anbietet und dabei ins Stammeln gerät; ein Tierpfleger, genannt der »Affen-Walter«, der einst Michael Jackson durch den Berliner Zoo geführt hat, Bilder im Album zeugen davon. Was ist diesen Menschen passiert, die sich von Teilen ihres Lebens trennen wollen? Sie haben es Sarah Khan erzählt, und Sarah Khan hat ihre Geschichten aufgeschrieben.

        betrifft: Sarahs Cousin

        Roman

        by Raymond Federman, Peter Torberg

        »Ich kann schon die Einsprüche hören. Nicht schon wieder!Warum eigentlich nicht? Ein Thema so gut wie jedes andere und ziemlich in Mode heutzutage.«Ein Autor wie Raymond Federman darf diese bestürzende Wahrheit so lakonisch in Erinnerung rufen, denn sein ›Thema‹ heißt Deportation und Vernichtung. ›Post-Holocaust‹ hat Raymond Hederman seine Literatur genannt. Das schriftstellerische Werk des heute in den Vereinigten Staaten lebenden Avantgarde-Autors bringt der Suhrkamp Verlag seit vergangenem Jahr neu heraus oder stellt es, wie den vorliegenden Roman - ›betrifft: Sarahs Cousin‹, erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Das Versteck im Wandschrank bewahrte Raymond Federman davor, wie seine Eltern und Schwestern am 16. Juli des Jahres 1942 aus Paris nach Auschwitx deportiert zu werden. Er »hat den Tod hinter sich« — aber nicht vom Tod wollen Raymond Federmans Romane erzählen, sondern vom Überleben, vom zweiten Leben eines Verschonten.Sarah und ihr Cousin warten aufeinander: er wartet wegen eines verspäteten Weiterflugs nach Israel auf dem Flughafen jener Stadt, in der er geboren wurde; sie erwartet seit Stunden mit ihrem Mann Elis auf einem israelischen Flughafen ihren Cousin. Beide, Sarah hier und ihr Cousin dort, sehen tiefbewegt von schmerzhaften, schuldbeladenen und selbstzweiflerischen Erinnerungen an ein geteiltes Schicksal ihrem ersten Wiedersehen seit 35 Jahren entgegen. Der Schrecken in ihrer Vergangenheit, durch den ihnen auch ein »Mehr an Leben verliehen worden war«, ist datierbar auf den 16. Juli des zweiten Invasionsjahres, als sie die Deportation ihrer Eltern und Geschwister überlebten: die neunjährige Sarah auf der Straße, weil ihre Mutter sie zum Einkaufen schickte, kurz bevor die Familie abgeholt wurde; der drei Jahre ältere Cousin im Wandschrank, in den ihn seine Mutter stieß, als die Soldaten kamen. Auf dem Land versteckt, überlebten Sarah und ihr Cousin, fanden sich nach dem Krieg wieder, bevor sich ihre Wege trennten. Er emigrierte nach Amerika und wurde ein berühmter Bildhauer, sie, weil ihr das Visum wegen einer Krankheit verweigert wurde, wanderte aus, um in einem Kibbuz mitzuhelfen, ein neues jüdisches Land und Leben aufzubauen.Das ist die Geschichte, die Raymond Lederman erzählt - oder genauer: er denkt nach über diese Geschichte, die in »betrifft: Sarahs Cousin« aus nichts anderem besteht als den melancholisch-heiteren Spekulationen über Form und Möglichkeiten, diese Überlebensgeschichte mitzuteilen.
