Aline Valangin was a Swiss writer, pianist, and psychoanalyst.
 In Zurich she was follower of Carl Jung and became a psychoanalyst.
 With Vladimir Rosenbaum (1894–1984, her husband from 1917 to 1940), at Comologno she helped and played host to migrants as Ignazio Silone, Ernst Toller, and Kurt Tucholsky.
 In 1931, she loved Silone, read his masterpiece "Fontamara", and helped him to publish it.
Drums in the Night ("Trommeln in der Nacht") is a play by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht.
 Brecht wrote it between 1919 and 1920, and it received its first theatrical production in 1922.
 It is in the expressionist style of Ernst Toller and Georg Kaiser.
 The play—along with "Baal" and "In the Jungle"—won the Kleist Prize for 1922 (although it was widely assumed, perhaps because "Drums" was the only play of the three to have been produced at that point, that the prize had been awarded to "Drums" alone); the play was performed all over Germany as a result.
 Brecht later claimed that he had only written it as a source of income.
"Futility" is a poem written by Wilfred Owen, one of the most renowned poets of World War I.
 The poem was written in May 1918 and published as no. 153 in "The Complete Poems and Fragments".
 The poem is well known for its departure from Owen's famous style of including disturbing and graphic images in his work; the poem instead having a more soothing, somewhat light-hearted feel to it in comparison.
 A previous secretary of the Wilfred Owen Association argues that the bitterness in Owen's other poems "gives place to the pity that characterises his finest work".
 Futility details an event where a group of soldiers attempt to revive an unconscious soldier by moving him into the warm sunlight on a snowy meadow.
 However, the "kind old sun" cannot help the soldier - he has died.
Wilfred Edward Salter Owen, MC (18 March 1893 – 4 November 1918) was an English poet and soldier, one of the leading poets of the First World War.
 His war poetry on the horrors of trenches and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his mentor Siegfried Sassoon, and stood in stark contrast both to the public perception of war at the time and to the confidently patriotic verse written by earlier war poets such as Rupert Brooke.
 Among his best-known works – most of which were published posthumously – are "Dulce et Decorum est", "Insensibility", "Anthem for Doomed Youth", "Futility", "Exposure" and "Strange Meeting".
Ernst Toller (1 December 1893 – 22 May 1939) was a German left-wing playwright, best known for his Expressionist plays.
 He served in 1919 for six days as President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, and was imprisoned for five years for his actions.
 He wrote several plays and poetry during that period, which gained him international renown.
 They were performed in London and New York as well as Berlin.
 In 2000, several of his plays were published in an English translation.
Ernst-Toller-Preis is a Bavarian literary prize, awarded every two years in the name of Ernst Toller.
Wilfred Owen: A Remembrance Tale was a 1-hour 2007 BBC documentary on the life of the First World War poet Wilfred Owen.
 It was presented by Jeremy Paxman and starred Samuel Barnett as Owen and Deborah Findlay as his mother Susan.
 It premiered on BBC One on Remembrance Sunday 2007.
The League for Proletarian Culture (German: "Bund für proletarische Kultur" ) was a short-lived German left-wing organisation for the promotion of proletarian culture.
 It was founded in Berlin in spring 1919 by Alfons Goldschmidt, Arthur Holitscher, and Ludwig Rubiner and was dissolved in early 1920.
 It sought to promote "the eternal values bequeathed by the illustrious spirits of the past."
 Under the auspices of the experimental theatre the Tribüne (founded in September 1919), it staged Ernst Toller's "Transformation" ("Die Wandlung"), which opened on 30 September 1919 with a cast that included Fritz Kortner.
 The production ran into difficulties in mid-October, however, when some of its cast refused to play for metalworkers who were on strike at the time, which led to the termination of the relationship between the League and the Tribüne.
 The director Karlheinz Martin and dramaturg Rudolf Leonhard, both of whom had worked on the Toller production, formed the "Proletarian Theatre of the League for Proletarian Culture" ("Proletarisches Theater des Bundes für proletarische Kultur").
 It produced Herbert Kranz's "Freedom" ("Freiheit"), which opened on 14 December 1919 on the platform of the Philharmonic Hall.
 Despite the production's success, having filled the auditorium, only one performance was given.
 The newspaper "The Red Flag" ("Rote Fahne") thought that in its promotion of individual self-realisation through self-sacrifice the play adopted an anarchist political position.
Die Welt ist schön ("The World is Beautiful") is a 1928 book of photography by German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch.
 A popular work at the time, "Die Welt ist schön" is generally considered one of the most important books of photography published in the Weimar Republic, and as an iconic example of the photography of New Objectivity.
 Renger-Patzsch's book provoked emphatic reactions upon release: while contemporaries such as Ernst Toller and Thomas Mann praised "Die Welt ist schön", it was sharply criticized by figures like Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht, who felt that Renger-Patzsch's work was too beholden to a naive idea of photographic realism and ended up aestheticizing everything, thus obscuring social realities.
