V., an alliance of Dresden cultural workers, and other Dresden initiatives against racism .

action

With a course to the right and the log book Blue Book , which has an answer to all questions, Dresden citizens set off to new shores by steamboat. Because “it can't go on like this”, something has to “change”, are the slogans. Everything is in the book: how women should behave, how the Germans should have more children of their own and what to do with the non-German crew. The travelers are convinced: The Blue Book must be implemented consistently, doubts are undesirable.
