Führer Ex

Violence. Feeling. Being caught.

A dark, intellectually demanding biographical examination of radicalization and redemption set against Cold War Germany, grounded in one man's painful journey away from extremism.

Ingo Hasselbach, whose parents were Communist Party members in East Germany during his childhood, has lived at both ends of the political seesaw. The question of how people reach a change of heart is a profound one; Hasselbach describes the external forces that led to his founding Germany's first neo-Nazi political party and the internal ones that led him away from it five years later.
