#DIEWELLE2025

The Nazi era is over. Today the world is enlightened and safe. Isn't that right? In history class, a school class discusses these and other questions when the Second World War is on the curriculum. The pupils agree that there could no longer be a dictatorship in Germany today. To prove how easily people can be seduced, manipulated and instrumentalized, the teacher begins an experiment. The class is to work together as a group through discipline and community. As "#DIEWELLE2024", the pupils dive deeper and deeper into the experiment. But then everything gets out of control.

The bestseller "The Wave", published in 1981, is based on a real experiment. It was conducted by teacher Ron Jones at a Californian high school in 1967. In view of current political developments in Germany, the story is frighteningly topical: according to the study "Youth in Germany 2024", the AfD is the strongest party among 14 to 29-year-olds.

Secondary schools can book a performance of "#DIEWELLE2024" from Year 8 upwards.
