” There is this curious silence surrounding the expulsion of my work from the Academy show … Scarcely anyone had anything to say to me about it. I thought people would come, or at least write – but no. Such a silence around us. “
An extract from Kathe Kollwitz diary, on her expulsion from the Prussian Academy by decree of the Nazis. It brings up a question about the reaction of the German people to such policies and decrees. Were Kollwitz’s colleagues scared to talk to her for fear of retribution?, were they indifferent to her plight or did they support the Nazis actions?
