About this ebook

Yasser Arafat is driving me to Auschwitz

Yasser Arafat is driving me
to Auschwitz.
"This is a dream come true,"
he says,
and then,
smiling at me from his
rear mirror,
"Auschwitz".

We are driving 21 days
now
from Petach Tikva, Israel
to Poland: end of the world.
He is driving me there with
his blue taxi
and the meter,
God,
I’m afraid even to look.

We are passing all Europe
to see this damn chimney.

In Germany we meet the
nicest man.
he is smiling at us,
taking his hat off,
shaking our hands.
"Hitler," he says,
"Adolf Hitler.
I invented syphilis,"
he is shaking,
then saying,
"You’re from Israel,
so this is an anxiety attack."
I am holding him up,
pushing a glass of tap
water to his hand,
he is drinking it
while I’m saying:
"Adolf, dear,
this is not an anxiety,
it’s never just an anxiety,
this thing you call anxiety
just protects you from what
you really have in you."

His eyes are sizing me carefully.
then I whisper in his ear,
"Sadness and anger,
those two are always
underneath all anxieties."

Author

Doron Braunshtein

Doron Braunshtein (born May 2, 1976), better known by his pseudonym Apollo Braun, is a musician, author, and former owner of two boutique shops in the Lower East Side of New York City, both named Apollo Braun. The provocative, politically charged slogans of his self-designed T-shirts brought his boutiques public attention on numerous occasions before the eventual closing of his second boutique in 2009. He released his debut album in 2001 and has since released many more. His song "Party in My Pants" appeares in the film Religulous. In 2015, Apollo appeared on the Israeli TV show HaKokhav HaBa (English: The Next Star), where he sang two original songs. Braunshtein's music consists primarily of spoken word, and often references or sexualizes celebrities, politicians, and religious figures. He began writing books in 1999 and has since published 10 books in English, and 20 more in his native language Hebrew. The content of his writing includes philosophical essays, plays, poems, and frequently concerns sexuality (Braun is himself openly biseuxal).
