Katja Hoyer – Weimar – Life on the Edge of Catastrophe
Between the collapse of the German Empire and the rise of the Third Reich, the Weimar Republic endured 14 years of artistic brilliance, political violence and hyperinflation. Historian Katja Hoyer – author of the bestseller Beyond the Wall – talks to the novelist Boris Starling about how democracy unravelled into tyranny. Central to her narrative are personal accounts from the time, including the diary of a local stationer, Carl Weirich. The result is a remarkably vivid portrait of ordinary citizens trying to navigate a chaotic and frightening world. A gripping new insight into one of the most fascinating periods in German history.
