"Never forget him!", his wife called out to the mourners at Marum's funeral in 1934.
3,000 citizens of Karlsruhe paid their last respects to the deceased, even though the Nazis had prohibited announcing the date of his burial. Tens of thousands had mocked Ludwig Marum and seven other Baden politicians a year earlier during the "parade" through Karlsruhe, which led the "protective detainees" to the newly built Kislau concentration camp.
The combative lawyer and politician, who had early on opposed fascism, was targeted from the beginning by the NSDAP as a Jew and a Social Democrat. His letters from the concentration camp portray him as a caring family man and loving husband, but also as a man who firmly believes in justice.

A piece of regionally significant local history will be staged, as Hajo Kurzenberger brings it to life on stage through historical documents.

A premiere by the Badische Landesbühne Bruchsal with ensemble members from the drama and youth theaters, in collaboration with the Forum Ludwig Marum.
