Description:
1923 - A German Trauma
Based on newly discovered source material from European archives.
It was the year in which German politics slid from crisis to crisis, when civil war seemed realistic and the Republic threatened to collapse from its extremes and its precarious economic situation. What does the traumatic experience of 1923 tell us about ourselves?
Historian Mark Jones takes us right into the crisis year of 1923: into those months when French and Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr, Germans paid billions for a loaf of bread and a right-wing extremist named Adolf Hitler succeeded in the beer cellars. Jones tells of the threat to the state posed by putschists from the left and right, of hunger and anti-Semitism - but also of how the country overcame the permanent crisis and found stability and peace. In the end, the democrats emerged victorious.
Review: "Mark Jones is a gifted storyteller."
