Gegen das Vergessen

"Against Forgetting" by Werner Reichel is an insightful non-fiction book that addresses the societal and political impacts of the Corona crisis. The author documents over 400 quotes in this work that illuminate the lies, hatred, and incitement during the pandemic. Reichel analyzes the role of politicians, journalists, scientists, and other actors who, in collaboration with the government and the pharmaceutical industry, propagated a one-sided narrative. The book offers a critical perspective on the measures taken in response to the pandemic and discusses the associated collateral damage that has ruined many livelihoods. Through the compilation of quotes, the danger of a doctrinaire simplification of opinion that prevails in society is highlighted. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to question and understand the events of the past few years.
