Eine Jugend in Deutschland was written by Ernst Toller and published by Die Andere Bibliothek with an essay by Ernst Piper. First published in 1933, it describes the author’s childhood and youth in the then Prussian province of Posen, the cultural-political discussions during his student years in Munich and Heidelberg, his experiences as a volunteer at the Western Front during World War I and his resulting political commitment as a pacifist and socialist in the postwar period. The book is considered one of the most important documents of this period of upheaval.
