About the Play

The Good German, which the Daily Record calls an "extraordinary piece of writing," is the story of the Vogels, a German family that is forced to make difficult moral decisions when confronted with the cruelty of the Nazi regime. The wife, Gretel, wants to provide a safe haven for Wilhelm Braun, a Jew who has lost his home, business, wife, and child to a violent fire. Karl, her husband, is a scientist and a scholar, but not a humanitarian. In fact, while Karl is distrustful of the Nazis, he hates Jews. However, he loves his kind wife and agrees to conceal Wilhelm for her sake. The fourth character is Siemi, an administrator for the Nazi party who starts off the play dispassionate about his job until he succumbs to propaganda and rises in the Nazi ranks. The ruminations and relationships among the four culminate in a thoughtprovoking play about what constitutes a good German and a good person.
