An evening about resistance, memory, and the question of the present
Ulrich Schneider brings political contemporary history into a direct reading atmosphere in Bielefeld: At the bookstore Eulenspiegel, the historian reads from 1933 – The Path to the Third Reich and discusses the dynamics of fascist rule, the view on the 1930s, and the options for antifascist forces today. The event is announced as a free reading with discussion and takes place in cooperation with the VVN-BdA. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1734361?utm_source=openai))
An author with historical authority
Ulrich Schneider, born in 1954, works as a historian and publicist. He is the Secretary General of the International Federation of Resistance Fighters (FIR) and has been active in the VVN-BdA for decades. Since 1975, he has published on antifascist resistance, regional contemporary history, and the Buchenwald concentration camp. This professional depth also shapes the evening in Bielefeld: not just a reading, but an author encounter with analytical sharpness and political relevance.

The book as a historical key
1933 – The Path to the Third Reich is published by PapyRossa and collects historical sources and documents related to the establishment of the Nazi regime. The volume questions the political conditions for the seizure of power, resistance and synchronization, as well as the mechanisms of persecution and exclusion. This is precisely where the literary-political tension of this evening lies: The reading opens a historical archive that remains disturbingly readable even today.

The venue: A bookstore with history and stance
The bookstore Eulenspiegel on Hagenbruchstraße 7 is one of the defining independent bookstores in Bielefeld. The place has existed since 1977 and emerged from the environment of leftist social criticism. For a reading about antifascism and historical responsibility, it creates a fitting framework: concentrated, urban, close to the literary scene.

Atmosphere between bookstore and debate
Those who attend here experience not a distant podium but a compact literary experience with political nerve. The mix of reading, conversation, and collective memory promises an evening that connects language, knowledge, and stance. Participation is free; registration is requested. Anyone who wants to read history not as a museum but as a question of the present should experience this date live. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1734361?utm_source=openai))
