abstract = "In W. G. Sebald{\textquoteright}s final prose workAusterlitz(2001), the eponymous protagonist famously consults H. G. Adler{\textquoteright}s encyclopedic study of Theresienstadt and expresses regret at never having met its author.¹ While this is surely the most tangible link between the two men, another place, also instrumentalized in the mechanisms of Nazi persecution and deportation, suggests a further connection: the Jewish Museum in Prague. Adler was personally involved in the work of the museum immediately after World War II and it leaves an interesting mark on his fiction, providing the model for the two museums that feature in the novelsEine",
