You're right, of course. I was going from memory from a class I took three years ago, but I dug up the notes after I saw your comment. I'll make that correction now. Thanks so much!</p> http://phillyist.com/2007/04/19/phillyist_revie_40.php#comment-1071293 http://phillyist.com/2007/04/19/phillyist_revie_40.php#comment-1071293 Comments Fri, 20 Apr 2007 11:39:59 -0500 <p>Thanks for the wonderful review of our production of Life of Galileo. I felt a need, however, to point out that Brecht was not Jewish. His reasons for fleeing Germany were not religious but political: Brecht was the foremost Marxist playwright in Germany, and his subject matter and style of writing additionally classified him as decadent. His writings were among the earliest burned by the Nazis.</p>
