It is likely to be the first German-language booklet to the Corona-crisis, certainly the first noteworthy: "in spite of", the recording of two long-distance calls between the two German lawyers and writers Ferdinand von Schirach (56, "crime", "guilt", "punishment") and Alexander Kluge (88, "chronicle of feelings"). You discuss about the Situation at the end of March, a beds their thoughts but quickly in the statements of thinkers – how could it be different with writing of this caliber scholars.
The title is reminiscent of Thomas Mann (1875-1955): "Aschenbach had once spoken at a little visible place immediately, that almost all that's Great, look what, as a Still stand, in spite of sorrow, and torment, poverty, abandonment, physical weakness, Vice, passion, and a thousand obstacles come about to be." This sentence from Mann's Novella "death in Venice" (1912) preceded the dialogue as a Motto, we all know that Aschenbach falls at the end of the from India to Venice next Cholera epidemic to the victim.
See Ferdinand von Schirach and Alexander Kluge, also according to the Corona-pandemic, something Big coming? You are not yet decided. So says von Schirach only: "I think the Virus has brought us to a turning point. Both is now possible, the brilliant and the Terrible." It was a question of the right decision about a European Constitution, every person could have his data, or have a right to a healthy environment. "Now is precisely the right time."
"do you have in your theater piece, "Terror", a pilot of the German armed forces decide", face Wise von Schirach with his controversial stage work in 2015: terrorists hijack a plane to interact with 100 pass and want to bring it on a 70'000 spectators Packed the football stadium to the crash. Against the command of the superiors of the fighter pilot shoot the civilian machine. In the theatre, in each case, viewers need to judge the members of the army and talk to him always.
"let's Sacrifice the minority, the Old and infirm, and give the Virus price", would mean that judgment on the Corona-crisis applied. However, the opposite is the case: The people show around the world in solidarity and try to come together through the crisis. Also von Schirach, purified, and recognizes the Dilemma of the Doctors: "Can survive, the chances of set actually safe?" And in terms of Chancellor Merkel, he says: "It is for politicians a terrible time, I admire how you can withstand this pressure."
