...cause of the catastrophe has never been established, but a few years ago a writer named Michael M. Moonew popularized a theory that the ship was sabotaged by a crew member acting for the anti-Nazi underground in Germany. The film tries to dramatize this thesis, but the effort is unsuccessful...
There was not a great deal of contact with the Nazis, no pervasive feeling of the evil of the society. Although Schroder's father worked for the Nazis he was never in the party himself, and Schroder remembers that once he hid an anti-Nazi in their attic, telling his children the man was a retarded uncle, unable to speak...
Roth found that those who lived on memories of beautiful secrets ran into problems with those whose interests demanded quick and complete forgetting. In 1933, just a year after he published The Radestzky March, he left Germany--he was a Catholic son of Jewish parents, and known as an anti-Nazi.

Ionesco described the play as an anti-Nazi drama. But, more broadly, it exposes the collective hysteria that lies beneath the thin veneer of reason covering modern society.

A former anti-Nazi resistance fighter and onetime head of ENI, the government oil agency, Cefis indulges an un-Italian predilection for sandwich-and-milk lunches at his desk. In 1971, at the age of 50, he became the head of Montedison S.p.A., Italy's biggest industrial concern but a shaky one. He promptly spun off about 15% of its operations and began a series of acquisitions that made Montedison the producer of 80% of Italy's synthetic fibers...
