Fascism is sweeping Europe in a blood-red wave. People mercilessly kill each other, trying not to think why. In this sea of pain and fear, hatred and suffering had to appear someone who would say loudly: "Never has life been so precious as today ... she is so little worth" . The world needed a person who, without fear of becoming an outcast, would publicly declare that war is a deadly marathon in which not only people die. Souls perish in him. This person was Erich Maria Remarque. Having visited the front, he showed the world the real face of war, and not the mask in which she appears on the covers of propaganda newspapers. His novel All Quiet on the Western Front became an anthem of pacifism. Remarque showed how the personality is distorted under the pressure of the military machine, showed that there are no and cannot be winners in a war. He managed not to become bitter and retain the ability for sincere love - Remarque's romance with Marlene Dietrich became a Hollywood legend.
