A review by ostrava
Fear and Misery in the Third Reich by Bertolt Brecht
5.0
A collection of sketches portraying the reality of fascism in the pre-war Germany of the 1930s. Of varying quality, and mostly superfluous in its message, but its historical value is undeniable and its representation of the angst of the era is an appropriately didactic instrument. For teenagers in particular.
Second Reading (selected fragments):
I disagree with my former review. While on the surface it does remain more simplistic once you dive in deeply the stories do evoque more variety than I was willing to give them credit for. The Jewish Woman and The Spy are two very different stories that compliment each other quite well and show a great contrast of what the Nazi Era looked like. The Ex-Literature so far has been very enjoyable, maybe I could try some "Innere Emigration" next.
