Beschreibungen/Notizen
Gershom Scholem had already had contact with Peter Suhrkamp at the Suhrkamp publishing house. It was Suhrkamp's successor Siegfried Unseld, however, who established a close relationship between the press and this important scholar of Jewish religion. Under Unseld's direction, Scholem's work was published or reissued by Suhrkamp, and Scholem served as an adviser to Suhrkamp's publication list in philosophy and Jewish Studies. Largely through Scholem's insistence, Suhrkamp embarked on a long-term project to edit the work and letters of Scholem's close friend, the critic Walter Benjamin, who had died in 1940. Unseld and Scholem were both strong personalities; their correspondence documents a friendship that would bridge West Germany and Israel and instigate books and projects; it is rich with information about friends and rivals.
