On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was sworn in as German Chancellor, and the cultural landscape of the Late Weimar Republic changed in the blink of an eye. February determined which of the leading writers, artists and intellectuals will have to fear for their lives and flee, who will pursue a career under the protection of criminals, and who will retire to internal emigration to see firsthand how history is made.

On the basis of diaries, letters and archival materials, Uwe Witstock recreates the sense of historical breakdown that has gripped Germany. It took the Nazis no more than a month to turn a weakening democracy into a reign of terror. The story of 33 German intellectuals—from Thomas Mann and Elsa Lasker-Schüler to Bertolt Brecht—collides with a chronicle of street clashes where the right beats and kills the left—and vice versa.
