Dora Diamant, 1924: The
best-known photograph of Dora.
the room where he died and to attend a
performance of La Traviata, where she
decided to write a book.
"It was a great love story," she said,
"but no greater than Dora and Kafka's,
and theirs was true. I realized the story
had to be told."
But telling it proved to be a long and
frustrating process. Before it became a
biography, the book went through
incarnations as a one-woman show, a
play that was selected for the Streisand
Festival of New Jewish Plays, and a
screenplay that was a finalist at the
Sundance Screenwriters' Lab.
And when she had half of a book
written, she suffered a setback when she
learned from Kafka scholar Hans-Gerd
Koch that 70 of Dora's letters written
between the time of Kafka's death and
hers were missing.
To get the needed credentials to
search for the missing documents, she
established the Kafka Project at San
Diego State University. Her position
there came with the title "adjunct pro-
fessor," which gave her the needed
access to archives around the world.
She also had to secure the permission
of the Kafka estate to do the investiga-
tion on its behalf.
Travels followed to the Czech
Republic, Israel, Poland, the Isle of
Man and England, where it took her
six weeks in 1990 to locate Dora's
unmarked grave. When she finally did,
she vowed she would someday return
and put a headstone on it.
In 1998, doing research in Berlin,
she realized Dora had a cousin, Zvi
Diamant, living in Israel. She located
him, and he flew to Berlin two weeks
later to meet relatives he didn't know
he had.
"I still don't know if I'm related to any
of these people," Kathi said, "but I've
been able to connect them to each other,
and that has been a great joy for me."
Zvi offered to pay for the head-
stone, and the following year, he,
Kathi and their families attended a

favorite photograph of Kafka.
ceremony when the stone was placed.
It is inscribed with words chosen by
Kathi that had been spoken by
Kafka's friend Robert Klopstock just
after the writer's death: "Who knows
Dora knows what love means."
A story in London's Guardian news-
paper the day of the event prompted a
letter from a reader who provided addi-
tional information about Dora. It also
led to a fax from composer Michael
Nyman ( The Piano, The End of the
Affair), who is currently composing an
opera about Dora that will be per-
formed in 2005.
Even since this book was finished,
Kathi has unearthed more information
about Dora. She is currently applying
for more research finding, and when
money becomes available, she'll travel
to Silesia, where Kafka's papers and
Dora's possessions that were once taken
by German police may be in a deposit
box.
If they're found, the papers will be
valuable. A collection containing seven
letters from Kafka to Klopstock
recently went to auction at $1.2 mil-
lion. His 35 letters to Dora would be
priceless. More important to Kathi,
they would provide material for a sec-
ond book.
Meanwhile, she says her personal life
has been completely changed by her
interest in Dora. For one thing, she's
had to simplify her lifestyle so she can
afford to pursue her passion. But the
result has been worth it.
"I wanted a life of magic, adventure
and meaning," she said. "And that's
what I got. With Dora as inspiration,
I've learned to stretch my limits and do
things I didn't think I could do — like
taking surfing lessons, playing basket-
ball and learning to tap dance."
And whether or not she is a blood
relative of Dora, she has been "adopt-
ed" by Dora's family. She and her hus-
band, Byron LaDue, will travel to
Israel later this year for the wedding of
Dora's great-niece, Hadas Diamant. Li
