Author Reading | Austrian Writer Martin Prinz Shares His New Novel, The Last Days

Thursday, April 2, 2026, 6:30 pm

free, tickets required

Enjoy a reading by Austrian writer Martin Prinz from his novel The Last Days, followed by a conversation with Bernadette Wegenstein, Professor of Media Studies and Director for Advanced Media Studies at Johns Hopkins University.

Book Synopsis: Set in April 1945 near Vienna, The Last Days reconstructs a Nazi society in its final weeks, when the war was almost over but the killings continued. Drawing on trial records and contemporary documents, Prinz examines a series of executions carried out by Nazi summary courts against individuals accused of defeatism and desertion. Written in the restrained language of court transcripts, the book confronts questions of individual responsibility, arbitrary power, and the long silence that followed these crimes in Austria. In the final 41 days of the war, more people were murdered in Austria than in the previous seven years. Among the victims were the granddaughters of Olga Waissnix, the muse of Arthur Schnitzler. Two years later, the perpetrators appeared before a people’s court, defending their actions as lawful and invoking obedience to a state that had already ceased to exist. With sober precision, Prinz revisits these events and reflects on literature as a form of remembrance.

This event takes place at:
Manhattan, New York, NY
