Weimar Republic, the latter during that part of the
interwar period between Germany's defeat in World War I in 1918 and Hitler's rise to power in 1933.

Erich Fromm,
Theodor Adorno,
Max Horkheimer, and
Herbert Marcuse; philosophers
Ernst Cassirer and
Edmund Husserl; political theorists
Arthur Rosenberg and
Gustav Meyer; and many others. ..."
