Talk:Kurt Tucholsky

message: A Note only... This picture of Tucholsky is very different than summarized in Prager's books "Think a Second Time"  (pg  130-131)  that in effect blames Tucholsky for the rise of Nazi due to his attacks on the Weimar republic. Prager cites essay by Walter Laquer "The Tucholsky Compaint" in book "Out of  the Ruins of Europe" (Library Press  1971). Googling Laquer affirms is conservative framework of reworking history, and puts to question his, and  thus Pragers view points on Tulcholsky.

message: If he was gay, as this article seems to indicate, a "GLBT writer" category should be added to this page.
Or I suppose the Hedwig in this sentence was a woman: "Some of the letters were to friends such as Walter Hasenclever, some to his last love affair, the Zürich doctor Hedwig Müller, whom he called "Nuuna"." 
I think most Americans think of "Hedwig" as a man's name, so some clarification would be helpful.  Moncrief 22:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: GLBT writer category

message: The article does not expand on Tucholsky's sex life which has been described as extremely wild.  However, 'Tucho' was only after women.

replies: text: There has been but one source of sufficient authenticity which enlarged on the subject and one mere statement from his first wife. None from Mary, his second wife. If we must lay an emphasize on any people's sex life, as soon as those conditions are met, then Wikipedia is for Porn. I doubt that.--193.54.27.145 (talk) 11:22, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I don't think the translation of Tucholsky's epitaph is appropriate. I would substitute "symbol" with "parable" or "allegory".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edfand (talk • contribs) 22:40, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I doubt whether the phrase 'One man's death: that is a catastrophe. A hundred thousand dead: that is a statistic' is properly sourced to Tucholsky. In any case, I don't believe it is weighty or illustrative enough to be quoted in the lead of this article. Sleuth21 (talk) 13:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  One man's death: that is a catastrophe...

message: It is difficult to understand if there is or was any relevant reception of Tucholsky outside of German speaking Countries, contemporary and current. Would it be possible to add a section on this in the article? Is Tucholsky a relevant contributor to British or American discourse? How was his role im Germamy perceived by English speaking political writers, etc? Thanks for considering to shed some light on this external perspective. ront(from German wikipedia)

thread_title:  Reception of tucholsky's work in English speaking countries 

message: The current version of this article mentions that Tucholsky, as an adult, left the Jewish community and converted to Christianity, but nowhere previously in the article does it state that he was of Jewish heritage.  Can this strange situation be rectified? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:12, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

message: Howdy. I am unsure about the right way to proceed: There is a great TV documentary on the “Golden Twenties” in Berlin, which are only the background for a short biography of Kurt Tucholsky. Produced by arte, it is completely in German, but about the best that you can get in this genre.
Should this be just another “external link” or – like in the German version of the article – a new section “Documentary”?
