Opis

This is a book against art censorship based on a true story, which includes a false accusation of "spreading child pornography" as well as the arbitrariness exercised by the police and public prosecutor's office, which ultimately led to the largest art and book destruction in German history since March 1939.At the end of October 2021, over 1,000 drawings and around 60 art books by the artist Tomé were said to have been destroyed by the Augsburg public prosecutor.In addition, the book offers some very unusual insights into everyday school life and the behavior of the school authorities and the government towards their teachers.The book also contains an explanation of the book title "Reichskristall...Tag".Above all, however, this book should be an appeal, a plea for the freedom of art!

He was an art, sports and ethics teacher at three schools and is involved with his Children's Portrait Museum, which he founded in 2011 to give children a platform here, with exhibitions and activities for children's rights.
