From the controversial bestselling author Ayn Rand to the Czech dissident Václav Havel, from George Orwell to Alexander Solzhenitsyn – in each of their works, the theme of truth shines through. Truth as a weapon of resistance, truth as a shield protecting one’s own integrity and freedom. And all of them emphasize the unwilling complicity of the oppressed in their own subjugation through lies.

Lecture by Max Remke, historian and political scientist, director of the Memorial Library.
