The second is the urgent letter wegner sent Adolf Hitler in 1933. warning him about the potentially dangerous consequences of any futher injustices against the Jews. wegner, who himself was not a Jew, paid a high price for his intrepid stance, being confined in several concenatration camps and prisons. He was banned from speaking and writing, and finally forced to emigrate. |
