Wer braucht noch Goethe oder Kafka?

[Dave Monroe]

Gerhard Gnauck reports on protests in Poland against
the new literary canon introduced by Education
Minister Roman Giertych: Goethe, Kafka, Dostoevsky and
Witold Gombrowicz are being removed from the
curricula. In their place come Ryszard Kapuscinski,
Wislawa Szymborska, Henryk Sienkewicz, Pope John Paul
II and the Catholic collaborator Jan Dobraczynski: "By
far the most original protest came from the
association of the descendants of Nobel Prizewinner
Sienkiewicz (1846 - 1916). In a letter to the
minister, they begged him 'to strike the works of our
grandfather, great-grandfather and
great-great-grandfather from the canon,' as he was in
better company with those who had been removed from
the list."
