@gemeinsinn@muenchen.socialThere was a warning from #ErichKästner ...
Stell Dich dagegen!
Stand Up!
Wer wagt es, sich den donnernden Zügen entgegenzustellen?
Die kleinen Blumen zwischen den Eisenbahnschwellen!
Who dares to stand up to the thundering trains? The little flowers between the railway sleepers!
Erich Kästner
#UweWittstock's book "February 1933: The Winter of Literature" and #RobertMusil's "Literature and Politics" illustrate how many #WeimarRepublic writers compromised or fled to survive the rise of #fascism. Few actively resisted #Nazism, with most opting for silence or collaboration to avoid persecution. #BertoltBrecht and #JosephRoth are exceptions who recognized and opposed the threat early, while figures like #ErichKästner remained to document the era.

jacobin.comHow Writers Survived FascismThe last years of the Weimar Republic are often thought to have witnessed an outpouring of politically engaged literature. But the history is more complicated. Writers more often avoided antagonizing a resurgent right to protect their lives and careers.
„Es gibt nichts Gutes
außer: Man tut es.“
