For all twelve years of the Third Reich, Victor Klemperer, a German Jew who was never deported, kept a secret diary. He recorded in meticulous detail the humiliations and insults, absurdities and brutalities of a civilized society sliding into barbarism. Published in English to universal acclaim only last year, the deeply personal and stunningly vivid diaries are transformed into a riveting solo performance.
