Thomas Mann's most important political legacy with the authors Charlotte Gneuss and Katerina Poladjan, moderated by Sebastian Guggolz (Guggolz Verlag)

When the National Socialists seized power, Thomas Mann left Germany and never returned. In exile in Switzerland, the German Nobel Prize winner for literature lost his citizenship in 1936. He emigrated to America, from where he broadcast his anti-war speeches from 1940 onwards. In 58 desperate, fervent humanist appeals, he spoke into the consciences of German listeners until November 1945. His radio speeches, transmitted to Europe by the BBC in adventurous ways, are unique documents of an upright German.
"I can't help myself: it does me good to call Hitler a stupid maniac right to his face." Thomas Mann
