Unmasking Hitler: Cultural Representations of Hitler from the Weimar Republic to the Present

by Klaus L. Berghahn (Editor), Jost Hermand (Editor)

Among the many studies on German National Socialism that have appeared in the last forty to fifty years, one aspect has seldom been treated in the cultural representations of Adolf Hitler from the late 1920s to the present. This book focuses on the image of Hitler in literature, photography, historiography, film, philosophy, theatre, and comic books by major artists and scholars such as Ernst Ottwalt, Heinrich Hoffmann, Bertolt Brecht, John Hearfield, Leni Riefenstahl, Charles Chaplin, Theodor W. Adorno, Heiner Muller, and George Tabori.
