On the 50th anniversary of Felix Weil's death

Announcement Press

Who was Felix Weil and what role did he play for the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research? Cosmopolitan, revolutionary, delegate to the Comintern, employee of the Argentinian government, tax expert in California and lecturer for the US Army in Ramstein, patron of the arts and family man. One day before the 50th anniversary of Felix Weil's death, Dr. Hans-Peter Gruber sheds light on a man who pursued the idea of a fairer society until the end of his life and at the same time was "out of sorts".

"Out of sorts" is also the logical title of Gruber's biography.

Interview with Dr. Hans-Peter Gruber in the Spanish ARCHIVOS de historia del movimiento obrero y la izquierda from March 2025.
