Too early is already too late!
January 30, 1933 – May 10, 1933 | One hundred days were enough to suspend essential constitutional rights. The Gleichschaltung (coordination) of state actions and the dismissal of regime opponents. The establishment of the first concentration camp in Dachau. The replacement of trade unions with the "Labor Front." The self-disempowerment of parliament.
One hundred days were enough to burn the works of Else Lasker-Schüler, Franz Kafka, Stefan Zweig, Joachim Ringelnatz, Johannes R. Becher, Yvan Goll, Walter Mehring, Bertolt Brecht, Carl von Ossietzky, Nelly Sachs, Erich Kästner, Kurt Schwitters, Hermann Hesse, Heinrich Heine, Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Mühsam, and many others on bonfires on May 10, 1933, "in an action against the un-German spirit"—but their works live on.

They've rescued some of these treasures from the fire and are presenting them – with musical accompaniment. Because: Too early is already too late!
