Dresden, Germany
January 20, 1930
I am moved by the striking beauty and pure strength of your pictures of Masse Mensch , and equally am I moved to think of students so young and so fortunate, in so young and fortunate a land, turning their thoughts to the problems of justice, speaking out for the miserable masses of men. At their age, when I wrote the play, I was in a Bavarian prison … There may come a time, even in your own rich and peaceful land, when the strength of young people will be needed to work for justice and for peace. Tell them they can work with a poem or a play as well as with a sword.
Ernst Toller
