Weimar

Drawing on a wealth of new archival research, Katja Hoyer takes us from 1919 to 1939 as she tells the stories of the people who lived through the new republic and Hitler's regime. We encounter a vividly drawn cast of characters - fascists and socialists, artists and workers, politicians and citizen - who became witnesses, perpetrators, victims and bystanders. Weimar - the town that dreamt of a better world, and woke up to tyranny.
