Deutsche Hörer! Thomas Manns Radiosendungen nach Deutschland.

In the organizer's words:

"I can't help myself: it does me good to call Hitler an idiotic rage right to his face." Thomas Mann

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.

Lena Gorelik, Irmela von der Lühe and Insa Wilke use text and audio documents to show the relevance of Thomas Mann's speeches for the present day.
