Konrad Swinarski (1929–1975) was idolised and hated, a visionary of the theatre who felt misunderstood. The biography tests his legend against the facts, talks to witnesses and asks about his 'Germanness', the German nationality list, the Hitler Youth and his links with the communist authorities. It sheds new light on his death and leaves the verdict to the reader.
