Weimar looms large in German History, a crucible of both democracy and dictatorship. It gave its name to the Weimar Republic, created in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where Fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest. This is an unforgettable picture of lives and choices in extraordinary circumstances.
