(1907) Another banned book: this one a Yiddish play about a Jewish brothel owner who wants his daughter to have a "pure" life independent of his own transgressions. It's an unsettling story about the mismatch between social expectations and reality, and about irrational faith in unachievable ideals.

During the Nazi time, this and all of Ash's works were purged from German libraries and burned.
