\"\"<\/a>Have you ever wondered what would happen if Adolf Hitler woke up and found himself in modern-day, vibrant, multicultural, metropolitan Berlin?<\/h5>\n
Well, this is the precise theme of a new bestseller by German journalist Timur Vermes. It\u2019s called Er Ist Wieder Da<\/em> (He\u2019s Back Again).<\/h5>\n
The Germans love the book but the Brits and the Jews are a bit confused. After all, no one ever expects the Germans to crack jokes and certainly not about\u00a0 the war, the Holocaust or Hitler.\u00a0 And, as you may expect, the Guardian of <\/span>Judea<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> is not one bit impressed: \u201cthe opening chapters of He\u2019s Back Again in particular can be a bit of a slog,\u201d<\/em> writes Philip Oltermann,\u00a0 the paper Berlin\u2019s correspondent.<\/h5>\n

Last night, BBC Newsnight\u2019s Jeremy Paxman <\/span>hosted a<\/span> discussion<\/span><\/a> between the author Timur Vermes\u00a0 and writer Sophie Hardach. Ms Hardach, a relatively unknown Jewish writer was definitely not amused. She advised the best selling German author how best to develop his\u00a0plot and, surprise, surprise, to incorporate the plight of the Jews. Never was the word Chutzpah <\/em>more appropriate!<\/h5>\n
But Timur Vermes\u00a0 just seemed to be amused by it all and confirmed that his fictional Hitler is no Holocaust denier – on the contrary, he is pretty proud of it all.<\/h5>\n
I guess it\u2019s all inevitable. The Germans have decided to move on and are freeing themselves from their traumatic past and the oppressive manner with which it has been handled.<\/h5>\n
Let\u2019s hope it won\u2019t be long before they start, once more, to write great symphonies and the best philosophy ever.<\/h5>\n
