ERIKA MANN: “WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT”

Everyday life under a swastika. Erika Mann describes typical milieus and fates from synchronized Germany. Her stories tell of adaptation and suffering, resignation and failure, but also of courage and humanity. For the most part, nothing spectacular happens, but people's distress and dissatisfaction are obvious. And there is one great hope above everything: that it will be over as soon as possible and that the lights will come on again in Germany.
