For Anita Berber's bio, go HERE.

I highly recommend the Feral House book: "The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber. Weimar Berlin's Priestess of Depravity" by Mel Gordon.

I will post the second Berber piece in a couple days. Would love to do a comic just about Anita Berber and her pet monkey.

“Seeräuber-Jenny (Pirate Jenny)” Text: Bertolt Brecht
 Musik: Kurt Weill
4

Und es werden kommen hundert gen Mittag an Land
Und werden in den Schatten treten
Und fangen einen jeglichen aus jeglicher Tür
Und legen ihn in Ketten und bringen vor mir
Und fragen: Welchen sollen wir töten?
Und an diesem Mittag wird es still sein am Hafen
Wenn man fragt, wer wohl sterben muss.
Und dann werden Sie mich sagen hören: Alle!
Und wenn dann der Kopf fällt, sag ich: Hoppla!

Und das Schiff mit acht Segeln

Und mit fünfzig Kanonen
Wird entschwinden mit mir.

4

And hundreds will come ashore around noon
And will step into the shadows

And will catch anyone in any door

And lay him in chains and bring him before me

And ask: Which one should we kill?

And at that midday it will be quiet at the harbor

When they ask, who has to die.

And then they'll hear me say: All of them!

And when the heads roll, I'll say: Hurray!


And the ship with eight sails

And with fifty cannons

Will disappear with me.
