Set against the backdrop of Oberammergau's historic Passion Play, this book explores the village's long tradition of staging Christ's trial and resurrection since 1634. It delves into the complexities of the play, highlighting its controversial interpretations, including Hitler's misuse and a 1970 boycott due to anti-Semitism. As the year 2000 production approached, the author documents the challenges faced by the villagers, offering a nuanced examination of the interplay between art, society, faith, and politics.
