Ernst Toller
Ernst Toller was a German-Jewish playwright and political activist known for his expressionist works that often explored themes of war, trauma, and the human condition. His notable play 'Hinkemann' was written after World War I, reflecting his own experiences as a soldier and his socialist beliefs. Toller was imprisoned for his political activities and later fled Germany, ultimately taking his life in 1939, shortly before the outbreak of World War II.
