Hitlere Mektup

Armin T. Wegner was a writer and a brave human rights defender, and was recognized by Armenians as "just" because he was one of the people who announced the tragedy and genocide of their people to the world. Armin was also recognized as a "just" in Israel in 1967 for a letter he wrote to Hitler in 1933 denouncing anti-Semitic laws. In this book, Gabriele Nissim discusses his extraordinary life: Wegner became a communist in the mid-1920s after his service in the German army during the First World War, but became dissatisfied with ideological conservatism after a trip to the Soviet Union. He is arrested for his political activities and tortured in concentration camps. From that day on, he felt like he had undertaken an impossible mission: to represent the best part of German culture.

Wegner was someone who sometimes had complex and contradictory thoughts, and who often tended to overestimate himself, thinking that he was at the center of the world, to the point of feeling collapsed and useless when his words were not listened to. In this context, the letter he wrote to Hitler was one of the greatest objections to dictators in world history.
