This lecture deals with the painful period between 1933 and 1945 when Hitler's favorite city - Munich - became the prime example for the methodical take-over by the National Socialist Party. Göttler documents the methods by which public, legal and cultural affairs were directed towards the system, the marginalization of Jewish citizens, and the fate of the city during World War II. Dr. Norbert Göttler is a leading cultural historian and a creative writer and filmmaker in his native state of Bavaria. He teaches at the University for Philosophy S.J. in Munich in the field of Journalism and the Sciences. As a major contributor to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, radio and television networks, and an active representative of PEN, he is well known in today's cultural world.
