About this listen
Berlin, the capital of the Weimar Republic, was a turbulent place to live after the Great War. Hans Brown’s grandparents wanted a better life for themselves and their infant son. They immigrated in 1922 to Montana in the United States.
The Weimar Journals, A Confluence of the 1920s and 2020s explores the similarities between the challenges within the Weimar Republic and what is being experienced today in the United States. Several story lines come together in Hans Brown’s journal entries written over the span of fifty years.
These journal entries describe Hans’ life and the lives of his grandparents, his grandmother’s sister (who remained in Berlin), a young man and woman from the 1920s & 30s in Berlin from Hans’ dreams, and Hans’ 21st century friends.
All of these facets come together as Hans reconciles the Weimar Republic’s political and social turbulence with his life in the United States one century later. As Hans studies the history of the Weimar Republic, he shares what he learns through his journal.
