The Rereading of Willy Munzenberg's and Margarete Buber-Neumann's Lives in Antonio Munoz Molina's Novel Sefarad (2001).

ADOLF Endler, in his journal Tarzan am Prenzlauer Berg (1994), mentions a picture album belonging to the poet Kurt Barthel, from 1952 to 1954 president of the East German Writers' Organization and notorious for his enthusiastic support of Stalin. In some photographs, consisting mainly of group pictures of Barthel with other communists from former periods of his life, some of the faces are missing: Kuba [Spitzname fur Kurt Barthel] hatte tatsachlich aus all diesen Beweisstucken fur seinen 'Aufstieg' in den vierziger, funfziger Jahren all jene beruhmten Kopfe heraustranchiert [...], welche sich seiner oder der Meinung der Partei zufolge als "Verrater" entpuppt hatten, als "Renegaten" und "Revisionisten," kurz als 'ekles Geschmeiss' [...] / (Kuba [nickname for Kurt Barthel] had indeed cut out from those pieces of proof of his 'career' in the 1940s and 1950s all the famous heads that according to his or the Party's opinion had turned out to be 'traitors,' 'renegades' and 'revisionists,' in short 'disgusting beasts' [...]).
