A Great Anti-Fascist Playwright and Author: Bertolt Brecht
125 years ago, on February 10, 1898, the German writer and dramatist Bertolt Brecht was born in Augsburg. Even as a schoolchild, he made his first literary attempts. Unlike many of his generation, he does not enthusiastically want to go to the First World War. After taking his A-levels in an emergency, he enrolled in medical school in order to avoid deployment at the front. Nevertheless, he was drafted as a hospital soldier in the fall of 1918. In the November Revolution of 1918 he became a member of the Augsburg Workers’ and Soldiers’ Council.
