A hatchet against Hitler

The Creglingen Foundation Jewish Museum presents an author reading with the journalist Rolf Schlenker on November 23, 2023, 07:00 PM.
The biographical novel „A hatchet against Hitler“ is about the early resistance against Hitler against the backdrop of the cable attack in Stuttgart in February 1933
February 15, 1933: Hitler has been Reich Chancellor for two weeks. He wants to hold his campaign launch for new elections to the Reichstag in Stuttgart, the speech in the Stadthalle is being broadcastet live on the radio. At 9.17 p.m. he falls silent – at least for the listeners who have gathered on the market square and in front of many radio sets. Four young communists cut a Süddeutscher Rundfunk transmission cable with a hatchet blow.
The renowned science journalist and non-fiction author Rolf Schlenker has researched the background to this historical event and presents it in vivid detail in a lively retelling. A harrowing and moving contemporary document of a tragedy of denunciation, loneliness, suffering and human greatness.
