{"product_id":"9783952409923","title":"Thomas Mann and Rotary : How the German author fought against the barbarism of National Socialism","description":"When talking about Thomas Mann today, it is not my primary goal to give an understanding of this famous author’s work (many consider him to be the best German-speaking writer of the last century). We have all heard of him and read his books at school. The main aim of this presentation is to illustrate Thomas Mann’s work as one of the founding members of the Rotary Club Munich, from November 1928 onwards, and how his ethnical stance made him a perfect fit for the Rotarian community.\u003cbr\u003e  Thomas Mann was an eloquent opponent of Adolf Hitler and the rising National Socialism, which he criticized and attacked publicly. After Hitler’s rise to power at the beginning of 1933, the situation became critical, even at the Rotary Club Munich. After four splendid years of membership he was faced with intrigues and expulsion from the Club, which aggrieved and troubled him greatly. This should concern us as well, even today, 80 years after the fateful year that was 1933: The question of what conclusions can be drawn arises.","brand":"interforum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138801254640,"sku":"9783952409923","price":13.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783952409923_p0.jpg?v=1763706800","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783952409923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
