Ernst Toller was a German Jewish playwright, the son of wealthy parents in the Polish-speaking area of Prussia, and was considered one of the most promising of the German Expressionist dramatic movement. After enlisting in the German army in 1914, the horrors of trench warfare (including a personal spell in hospital) encouraged him to reconsider his political stance. Toller became involved in a general strike in Munich in 1918 before being elected President of the Central Revolutionary Committee of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic of March 1919.
