Weimar was a cradle of democracy, culture and radical new ideas yet it also became an early stronghold of fascism.
Bestselling historian Katja Hoyer tells the story of the town and its people from 1919 to 1939, from artists and workers to politicians, victims and bystanders. Through their lives, she reveals how a society filled with hope and creativity moved towards dictatorship and catastrophe.
