Henning Venske ... erinnert an Erich Mühsam

In the organizer's words:

Voice of inspiration

"The truly brave fear no judgment, except that of their own conscience," Erich Mühsam once wrote.

And he stuck to this all his life. Because he never bent, no matter what color those in power happened to be. The state's verdicts against him were correspondingly varied, until he was finally sent to Oranienburg concentration camp and murdered by the Nazis.

In a very special political-literary program, Hennig Venske traces the life and work of probably the best-known anarchist and anti-militarist.

And how much fire and passion there is in it! Born in Lübeck in 1878, he began his journalistic work in Berlin at the turn of the century, which took on a completely different urgency a decade later in Munich - the impending world war, the heated atmosphere in the Bavarian metropolis.

Mühsam wrote and agitated tirelessly in various publications and groups. In 1919, he was involved in the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic and was once again sent to prison after its downfall.

After his release, he continued to fight - with a full beard, tousled hair and almost always wearing all black - and dreamed of a peaceful, free, more humane world.

Things turned out differently. "To submit is to lie - I won't let go of my hope" is the title of Henning Venske's homage to his kindred spirit. Mühsam is a shining, inspiring role model, especially in view of the cacophony of authoritarian voices roaring around the world.
