Tel Aviv apartment may hold unknown Kafka documents

An apartment in Tel Aviv might hold unknown documents that once belonged to the Prague-born Jewish author Franz Kafka, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Sunday. The papers are part of the inheritance Kafka left to his friend, Max Brod. After his death, the documents passed on to his secretary who wouldn’t let researchers examine them. But Brod’s former secretary died this year and Israeli researchers are hoping they might now gain access to the precious documents.
