Hans Beilhack (18 February 1897 — 1 January 1970) was a German librarian.
On November 10, 1916, Franz Kafka read In the Penal Colony at Hans Goltz's Kunstsalon in Munich.
Two days later, a recension of Beilhack was published in the Münchner Zeitung.
[1] In 1936, due to a satirical contribution published in Der Querschnitt,[2] the Nazi regime prohibited Beilhack from writing.
In 1945, he became a literature consultant to the Library of Congress Mission to Europe.
