#Storfer
My mentor was a phenomenal *reader,™️* always paid attention to the “scene,” the “blocking.” Eichmann told interviewers he couldn’t remember how Storfer had replied. My mentor noted that the conversation would have occurred as the ash of human cremains rained down on them, where Storfer was sweeping.

Reminds me of Eichmann in the camps seeing his "friend" Storfer. “Yes, my dear good fellow, what bad luck have we had?” "Storfer had gone into hiding in Vienna in 1943 for fear of deportation – a 'stupid thing to do' according to Eichmann."

I’m not sure if Chad was glossing Arendt. I was, kind of. I was also cribbing from 30+ year’s of my mentor’s reading of Arendt — w/ ‘Eichmann in Jerusalem’ the textual touchstone.

The key scene: vignette wherein Eichmann recalled (and didn’t recall) an interaction w/ Berthold Storfer in Auschwitz.

Er det ikke et verb? Det kommer fra butikken, det er vel der de storfer det.

1/ My purview surely isn’t comprehensive, but most of the (extremely few) readers of that “scene” impute a tone of sarcasm or mockery — basically, a sadism — to Eichmann’s (recollected) words to Storfer (who was about to be murdered): “Well, my dear old friend…Look, I really cannot help you.” But…

This reminds me of Eichmann’s testimony about his conversation with Storfer in Auschwitz:

“Well, my dear old friend [Ja, mein Lieber guter Storfer],”
(Eichmann said to Storfer), “we certainly got it! What rotten luck!”

One other case of Arendt's humor: Eichmann's encounter with Storfer at Auschwitz ("well, my dear old friend, we certainly got it! What rotten luck!"). When I read her discussion of this encounter to my students in the spring of 2024, they didn't find it very funny either

The most important moment in EIJ is the convo between Eichmann and Storfer while the ash Storfer was shortly destined to be reduced to rained down on them, and what Eichmann meant by “we” when he said, : “Yes, my dear good fellow, what bad luck have we had.”

between the covers and cocktail glasses | book bar toronto
Some of the best ideas begin around a kitchen table. For Robin Storfer and Tom Freeman, years of gathering with friends over food, wine, and conversation eventually evolved into Book Bar — a new literary-hospitality concept opening in Toronto’s Mirvish Village. Part independent bookstore, part neighbourhood bar, and part community hub, Book Bar is built around a simple premise: people need places to connect. With shelves of carefully curated books, a thoughtfully designed drinks program, and a calendar of author talks, book clubs, and cultural events, Book Bar is designed to encourage visitors to stay a little longer and engage a little deeper. Whether stopping in for a morning coffee, discovering a new favourite author, or settling in for an evening conversation over a glass of wine, guests are invited to experience books as a catalyst for connection, curiosity, and community. Ahead of the opening later this June, Schön! spoke with Storfer and Freeman to talk about creating meaningful spaces, building intentional community, and bringing a long-held vision to life. What was the original spark that led you to create Book Bar, and why did it feel like the right concept for Toronto right now? Book Bar really started in...

Eichmann visited Berthold Storfer when Storfer was a prisoner at Auschwitz and said to him, unironically, “Yes, my dear good fellow, what bad luck have we had?” and the DNC wasn’t even *that* conciliatory to Palestinian-Americans.
