SED-entry suits Brecht setting

Erdmut Wizisla is the head of the Brecht Archive in Berlin. He explained that Brecht’s assistant Käthe Rülicke had reported his party plans. That Bertolt Brecht after three days did not want to SED, however, was new to him. It would fit well to Bertolt Brecht. “His political thinking was calculated independently and absolutely, what spontaneity included”, so Wizisla.

Brecht had also written a letter to SED leader Walter Ulbricht, as the workers’ uprising was over. In it he expressed his fundamental attachment to the party. In the later authored “Buckower Elegies” contains the poem “The Solution”, which says the government could be so “elect a new people.” dpa / sh
