Kurt Tucholsky (born 1890 in UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}} died 1935 in Göteborg, Sweden) was a German satirist, novelist, journalist and author. A voice of the moderate to radical left but never openly associated with any particular political party, he was perhaps the fastest wit of the UsefulNotes/WeimarRepublic. While he managed to escape the Nazi takeover, he died in Swedish exile only two years into the Nazi reign of an overdose that may or may not have been intentional.

* NonIdleRich: Tucholsky inherited quite a bit of money from his father when the latter died as Tucholsky was 15 years old, but it never stopped him from writing, writing, writing.
