Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz

In commemoration of the centennial of World War I, Midsummer Sound Company and SueMedia Productions present the original audio drama, Never Again War: The Sacrifice of Käthe Kollwitz by Helen Engelhardt.
Hosted by Marsha Mason (Academy Award nominee / Golden Globe winner), Never Again War, takes us into the mind and life of the great German graphic artist and sculptor, Käthe Kollwitz, renowned for her body of work dedicated to depicting the lives of the working poor.
After her youngest son, Peter, was killed in Belgium in October 1914, during the opening weeks of World War I, she devoted the rest of her life to using her art in the service of her grief and opposition to war.
" I was deeply moved by "Never Again War," a very sensitive, quiet and reflective production.
And daring too, to show a German's point of view in a positive light, during the two great wars.
Wonderful performances by everyone.
I haven't heard anything that touched me so deeply in a long, long time. “
