And if I were asked to drive the car up a spiral staircase in front of a large crowd of people while declaiming Mary Stuart and composing a brief report on my “impressions” of this undertaking, I would certainly do it.

The Picture was taken before the journalistic campaign carried out by the National Socialist press organs against Erika Mann [in response to her participation in the pacifist women’s associations rally that took place in the hall of the Münchner Hotel Union on the evening of 13th January 1932] put an end to her career in Germany. This discrediting press campaign launched over the next days after the demonstration denounced the organizers as “a club of contenders for the lunatic asylum” and “pacifist peace hyenas”.
