    Although this story is typically considered a historical drama and a warning about fascism (and the way that collaboration with evil inevitably corrupts) there is also a sense in which it's a story of wrath and vengeance. Presented simply as the correspondence between two German friends in the 1930s, one of whom is Jewish, it eloquently depicts one of the men becoming increasingly poisoned by the forces rising in society around him, and the descent into wicknedness that this causes...
    MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn

    At first I wasn't sure why this was chosen, but by the end... Excellent choice.

    Boiling the frog slowly. Mass psychosis can't happen today? Already does--as recently as 2020-21. Blind trust in authority led otherwise rational people to do unfathomable things--to themselves. (Great story beautifully acted.)

    Looking at the world today..namely the Unites States and UK, this rings an alarm bell. Start to pillorise people for their race, religion, gender, sexuality, for what they read, believe in etc and democracy falls

      The radio adaptation of 'M' on this channel is similarly sobering in its contemporary relevance...

    Hypocrisy of men when politics or religion are pulled by vanity to injustice for human beings. Scarcity, blame, fear or LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, ABUNDANCE guide - one LIGHT the other EVIL, the middle way is to run from such PRISONS of thought, other wisdom see prisoners on both sides.
    Telling novella.
    BIG SUFFERING NEVER JUSTIFIES SUCH ATROCITIES- only excuses for perpetuating separation & pain. No matter where one is: there is choice.
    Identify with HUMANITY or vain identities.
