An inspiring and moving real-life story of bravery in the face of certain death, this play will appeal to anyone interested in true-to-life accounts of pre-WWII Nazi Germany and constitutes a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Ernst Toller was a famous German playwright most renowned for his expressionist plays.
