  1. After more than two decades, I reread Deutsches Requiem, written by Borges in February 1946. Having lived in Germany for more than nine years, I now see this short story in a different light, and Borges’ genius feels even more apparent.

    Before returning to Germany this weekend, I will attend a performance of Brahms’s A German Requiem with my parents. The piece explores human compassion, mourning, and fragility. Borges’ short story, on the other hand, presents the perspective of a Nazi concentration camp commandant reflecting on violence and the rejection of empathy.

    If you do not have access to The Aleph, the Wikipedia article offers a good summary (with spoilers).
