Literary career

A characterization of the book by John Sack in Frankfurter Rundschau as "Antisemitische Rohkost" stopped the German publishing of the translated book 1986. Geisel published among others in Haaretz, an interview with Tom Segev about Israel's founding fathers. He
translated some of the work of Hannah Arendt and essays about Zionism, Palestine and Germany into German. Together with Henryk Broder he published essays and a documentary film about Jüdischer Kulturbund, an unknown chapter of Jewish German cultural life during the Nazi era.
