Februar 33: Der Winter der Literatur

February 1933: Uwe Wittstock tells the story of a death that was looming on the horizon yet nobody thought possible. Day-in, day-out, he observes how, in just a few weeks, the glittering literary life of the Weimar period gives way to a long winter. And how the net tightens ever tighter for Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht, for Else Lasker-Schüler and Alfred Döblin, and for many others.
