"Fear and Misery of the Third Reich German: Furcht und Elend des Dritten Reiches also known as The Private Life of the Master Race is one of Bertolt Brecht's most famous plays and the first of his openly anti-Nazi works. It premiered on 21 May 1938 in Paris. This production was directed by Slatan Dudow and starred Helene Weigel. The production employed Brecht's epic theatre techniques to defamiliarize the behaviour of the characters and to make explicit the play's underlying message. The play consists of a series of playlets portraying National Socialist Germany of the 1930s as a land of poverty violence fear and pretence. Nazi antisemitism is depicted in several of the sketches including 'the Physicist' 'Judicial Process' and 'the Jewish Wife'. It was followed by many more plays that were openly anti-Nazi Arturo Ui etc. and attempted a Marxist analysis. They were written while Brecht was in exile in Denmark and were inspired by a visit to Moscow where he experienced the growing significance of the anti-Nazi movement there."
