”… this Enemy is on the Right!“
The Fight against National Socialism before 1933
Numerous democrats in the political and societal sectors warned from an early point of the dangers posed to Germany‘s first parliamentary democracy by its völkisch, antisemitic, extreme-right, and National Socialist opponents.
The exhibition uses biographies of 27 dedicated men and women to show examples of the fight against National Socialism before 1933, making clear that the Weimar Republic was by no means a “democracy without democrats.”
