Kaj Munk and Germany

Bag om Kaj Munk and Germany

This book is about the Danish "Pastor-Poet" Kaj Munk, who in the 1930's was Scandinavia's most talked about playwright. It describes his early fascination with Europe's "Strong Men," and with German theater. The book contains an in-depth analysis of his early disillusionment with democracy, and then his growing awareness of the true nature of Nazism and Fascism. It was in particular the Nazi treatment of Europe's Jews that brought Kaj Munk to the front of Danish resistance. He denounced Hitler and the German occupiers from the pulpit and, despite numerous warnings, refused to keep quiet. He was assassinated by the Nazis on January 4, 1944. Kaj Munk was a beacon of light in Denmark's darkest hour, one of that nation's most noted and discussed men of letters, and he remains so to this day.
