This contribution focuses on the conditions of literary production in
Germany during the Nazi regime. The article analyzes the work of writer
Ricarda Huch as one of the representatives of the so-called "Inner
Emigration", literary trend promoted by writers that were not placed to
serve the interests of the State, but instead sought to convey - through their
work - humanistic values and critics of the status quo, despite the
censorship and often putting their lives at risk. The poetic anthology
Herbstfeuer ("Fire of Autumn"), published in 1944, is one of the most
significant examples of the literature of resistance under the yoke of
Nazism.
