Jeder stirbt für sich allein

In the organizer's words:

The married couple Otto and Anna Quangel are rather inconspicuous people who live in an inconspicuous apartment building in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg and are not interested in politics - they voted for Hitler because everyone did. But the death of their only son at the front rocks their world. Shaken by the reality of the war, which now touches their very private cosmos, the couple's inner resistance to the regime grows and they resort to extraordinary means: They write and distribute postcards with messages of resistance written on them. This signal against the system calls Obergruppenführer Prall onto the scene, who puts Inspector Escherich on the case and demands that it be cleared up quickly. This is followed by denunciations, thefts and fraud, which destroy the Quangels' household community and ultimately lead to several deaths ... "Jeder stirbt für sich allein" is based on a true story from 1940s Berlin and develops a revealing social panorama from the dense description of a household community, which poses the question of how far one's own courage goes in the face of injustice and inhumanity.
