Abstract
This chapter discusses The Empty House and Shofar, works of German writer Karl Otten. The Empty House, published in 1959, is a prose anthology that included selections by Paul Adler, Ernst Blass, and Albert Ehrenstein. In this book Otten, not a Jew himself, acted on behalf of the Jews and out of a sense of the horrible injustice done to them. In 1963, he wrote Shofar, which highlighted the lofty heights German Jewry had achieved as it had seldom been shown to before. In this work, Otten also suggested that vacuum created by the elimination of the Jews from the German intellectual life cannot be filled.
