Publisher Description
What Nazi Germany did to the Jews did not happen overnight. Although the historians differ on the origin, some argue that the foundation for it was built by the writings and deeds of perhaps the most influential reformer of the millennium, Martin Luther. This screenplay is a journey through his life to give us historical facts as well as insights into his reformation. Whether or not the events of his lifetime could have influenced the Holocaust is left for the listener to decide. The monologues are verbatim copies from Luther's books, articles, and sermons. Preserving historical accuracy has been the chief goal in formulating conversations missing from recorded history.
Customer Reviews
Dramatized Documentary
It is an educational audiobook as it teaches how the protestant reformation started, and yet it is a drama as it gives an entertaining story. The way male and female voices were mixed was also a very pleasent surprise.
Interesting perspective on the Holocaust
This is a well written screenplay and offers an interesting take on the historical underpinnings of the Holocaust. The author succeeds in inspiring curiosity about a lesser known historical figure, Martin Luther. He then goes on to describe the evolution of his teachings that eventually turns into something sinister. It is well worth a read.
I appreciate the accurate source material.
This is a very interesting window into a very consequential part of history.
