First sentence: Looking back at the Weimar Republic, one is struck even today, sixty years on, by the stark contrasts that it presented: a democratic state, constituting the prelude to the most violent dictatorship in German history, yet at the same time a period of extaordinary cultural creativity, one that would end in such works as the nude paintings of Adolf Ziegler and the Thing Festivals.
