Death of a major playwright
mainRolf Hochhuth has died in Berlin, aged 89.
His play The Deputy lifted the lid on the Vatican’s collaboration with Hitler’s extermination of the Jews and its subsequent cover-up, a dirty secret that it conceals to this day.
Passionate about exposing German criminality and complacency, he once refused to share a panel with Gunter Grass, whom he called out as an antisemite.
