*Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui* (The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui) is a play written by Bertolt Brecht in 1941. It is a satirical parable that traces the rise of a fictional Chicago gangster, Arturo Ui, as he seizes control of the cauliflower trade—an allegory for Adolf Hitler's ascent to power in Nazi Germany, warning that such tyranny is resistible if people stand up to it.
