HOCHHUTH, ROLF° (1931– ), German playwright.Hochhuth, a Protestant, was a publisher's reader between 1955 and 1963 and was able to undertake, at the Vatican and elsewhere, the massive documentation needed for his controversial drama, Der Stellvertreter (Der Stellvertreter Paperback. At the same time he began writing fiction, and from 1955 to 1963 was an editor at a publishing house.Other works to cause controversy included Wessis in Weimar (1993), in which, three years after German reunification, Hochhuth denounced the “annexation” of East Germany by the West.In McKinsey is Coming (2004), an attack on the “dictatorship of the global economy”, Hochhuth seemed to suggest that a banker bearing a strong resemblance to Josef Ackermann, the then Deutsche Bank chief, might meet the fate of Hanns Martin Schleyer, the businessman murdered in 1977 by the terrorist group Red Army Faction.His writings were not the only things to cause controversy.

In future we should describe him as an author.”Hochhuth stuck by his old friend in 2000 when Irving unsuccessfully sued the US historian Deborah Lippstadt for calling him a Holocaust denier, and in 2006 when Irving was imprisoned in Austria, where Holocaust denial is a criminal offence.His support for Irving cost Hochhuth friendships, yet no one could accuse a man who once proclaimed “The Holocaust can never be forgiven and forgotten” of denying that it ever happened.
