	Egon Erwin Kisch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Egon Erwin Kisch (Prague, April 29, 1885 - March 31, 1948) was a Czechoslovakian writer and journalist, who wrote in German.
		Kisch was born into a German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, at that time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and began his journalistic career as a reporter for a local German language newspaper in 1906.
		Kisch was one of the very few Europeans to be given the test and as he was a noted linguist, the test was given in Scottish Gaelic and he consequently failed.

		Kisch was a revolutionary in the marketplace of ideas, a self-promoter for a higher cause; his masterful use of journalistic and literary conventions allowed him to subvert them.
		Kisch's modernist aesthetic was intended as an antidote to the fascist aesthetization of politics.
		By inscribing his politics into his texts, Kisch sacrificed a lot of his literary quality, which might be one of the reasons why he could not start a tradition of literary journalism: the politics was too deeply embedded in his writing to lend it a lasting value (outside of communist countries).

		Kisch had had a bad time, writing in Berlin against Hitler, who, the moment he came to power, had him busted, beaten, concentrated.
		But because Kisch was a Czech, and Hitler didn't grab that country for another 5 years, he, Kisch, had got loose, alive, and was now telling people from Paris what a baddie this Hitler really was.
		Kisch was elected, well, appointed, apparently by the Paris Honcho Romain Rolland, and there he was, on the SS Strathcaird, sailing from Marseilles, well, steaming, to Melbourne.

	Kisch
		In 1920 Egon Erwin Kisch, a Czech citizen since the dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy, was expelled as an undesirable alien by Austrian authorities.
		In general, however, Kisch was critical of what he saw, and he drew the reader’s attention to the misery and waste produced by American capitalism, late 1920s’ style.
		The chapter on Kisch’s visit to Henry Ford’s domain demonstrated that most of the innovations, proclaimed to be benefitting the man on the job, were designed to minimize idle motion of the conveyor belts and reduce the cost of production, rather than to improve the workers’ lot.

		Zogbaum's Kisch is at the same time a supporter of tolerance and broad alliances (who was relieved at the adoption of the Popular Front strategy) and a narrow sectarian who attacked the ALP in the manner of the earlier "social fascist" period of Comintern policy in Australian Landfall.
		"Kisch as well as [fellow communist] Toller were frequently active on behalf of fellow writers in political trouble" appears to be a grudging concession buried among the fine print of the notes.
		"Kisch should have been intensely grateful to Australia [despite feint praise for the Kisch Defence Committee, she means the government authorities] that he did not disappear into a dungeon or end up doing hard labour, cutting stone in a quarry, as the attorney general had intended.

		However Kisch was not a man to be held easily and after a prolonged ship-bound imprisonment, he escaped and jumped from the deck of the Strathaird and into Australian history.
		Kisch’s dramatic leap would have been forgotten if he had not successfully challenged the legality of the Australian government‘s attempt to prevent him entering the country.
		This important new book assesses, for the first time, the international significance of Egon Kisch and places him, and his Australian experience in the broader context of the rise of fascism in Europe and the ideological struggles of the 1930s.

		After being informed by British authorities that the Czech writer, journalist and activist Egon Erwin Kisch, was a 'dangerous communist', the Australian government banned his entry.
		It was November 1934, and Kisch was being held captive by the captain of the SS Straithorne, in Melbourne.
		Kisch always thought the ban was the result of Nazi pressure on an Australian government eager to trade with a resurgent Germany, but Heidi Zogbaum, a Research Fellow at LaTrobe University, believes there was an even more intriguing conspiracy.

		Erwin also provides a detailed summary of the climatic, geologic, geophysical and geochemical events of the Late Permian and Early Triassic.
		Erwin Lutzer presents a rationale for sexual purity, giving special attention to the consequences of permissiveness, and also dealing with such issues adultery, lust, homosexuality and masturbation.
		Challenging the claim that no religion can be superior to another and the popular move to unite all religions, Lutzer explains that religion is not a wheel whose varied religions are spokes that ultimately lead to the same peace and harmony at the core.

		Heidi Zogbaum barely manages to suppress her laughter as she describes the farcical situation of trying to use the immigration act to stop anti-war speaker, communist and Czech writer Egon Erwin Kisch from landing in Australia.
		On the basis of dodgy UK intelligence (a British agent named 'snuffbox' had written a report stating that Kisch was not welcome in England, but the reasons were never substantiated, despite Australian requests for more info), Menzies determined that Kisch could and would not be admitted to Australia.

		But Kisch was soon released on bail (“he won’t run far with a broken leg” — a judge said), and the language test was thrown out of court, and Scottish Gaelic was rejected from that time forward as a European language.

		Kisch belonged to that group of writers from Prague, Czechoslovakia, who at the beginning of this century elected to write in German and quickly gained prominence in modern German literature.
		In the 1920's, Kisch, who prided himself on being a direct descendant of the Maharal of Prague, shocked the city with a reportage attempting to disprove the legend that the clay figure of the Golem was stored in the attic of the Maharal's synagogue.

	Kisch joins the historical hit-list
		Later that year, he was turned away when he arrived to attend the “counter-trial” in London of the defendants accused of setting fire to the Reichstag in Berlin — an event most people believe was staged by the Nazis themselves and used to secure their absolute dictatorship over Germany.
		Elsewhere, in connection with Kisch’s own 1937 account of his Australian experiences, Zogbaum claims “Australian Landfall, although amusing and informative, was still a piece of communist propaganda, and not a very good one at that ?
		Kisch’s stance was pure Marxist self-righteousness and Comintern ‘spin’ at a time when communism had lost all intellectual and moral credibility”.

		Kisch, he writes, "showed incessant curiosity" about why Neruda had adopted such a prototypical Czech name, but the poet never revealed it to him -- because the answer was "so simple and so lacking in glamour":
		His tone is amiable, and his love of life, nature, poetry, and especially his homeland shine through throughout.
