Auf knapp 80 Seiten schreibt Kressmann Taylor über das zersetzende Gift des Nationalsozialismus. Mehr braucht es nicht. Beeindruckend, schockierend, spannend, meisterhaft. 1938 geschrieben und doch aktueller denn je.

I can't recall similar reading experience in several years.
Striking - not to say: devastating.
One gets completely absorbed by that an hour long, short 'novel in letters'.
Unbelievable idea and really phenomenal execution.

Those letters should be published in as many languages as possible, should be familiar to everyone.
As we - humans - are not any wiser after those 80-90 years; on the contrary.

(What a devilish coincidence... the very next evening I’d been watching „Remember” with Christopher Plummer. Like another side of the same coin...)
