One of the most important books I’ve ever read is ‘The World of Yesterday’ by Stefan Zweig He was born into an empire that crumbled before his eyes. It is a sober reminder that human institutions, however permanent they may seem to us, are susceptible to the disease of ideology and violence.

Fascinating to see how the arts also succumbed to the pressure. Writers and artists not collaborating anymore and outright denying any cultural achievements of their now enemies. Especially the chapter about Ernst Lissauer and his poem Hassgesang gegen England
