EXILE AND EMIGRATION: THE SURVIVAL OF “GERMAN CULTURE” Introduction In 1941, the Hungarian ambassador in Washington paid a courtesy call to the State Department, since Nazi Germany had forced his country to declare war against the United States. It turned out to be a very civilized meeting indeed and after the ambassador, following the rules of diplo- macy, had fulŠlled his somewhat delicate mission, the secretary of state politely asked him to sit down so that the two of them might take the rare opportunity for a good talk over crackers and a glass of brandy. The following conversation ensued. “I cannot hide from you, Mr. Ambassador, how much I regret that the Hungarian Republic has decided to wage war against my country, the United States of America!” “Sir,” the ambassador replied, “please believe me when I say how much I personally resent this decision.

Bottcher, Lexikon, has fairly use­ ful articles on Morgenstern, and on most of the writers associated with Naturalism, but nothing on Hauptmann or the main figures of the }ahrhundertwende. German Fiction Writers I9I4-1945, ed. James Hardin (Dictionary of Literary Biography, s6), Detroit, Gate Research Co., xiii + 382 pp., illus., is the first of four projected volumes covering the 20th c. Splendidly produced and illustrated, the collection is eccentrically chosen and uneven in quality. The 33 contributions range from Brecht- a good long piece by Siegfried Mews - to relative unknowns like Martin Kessel. There are essays on the Swiss authors Friedrich Glauser and Ludwig Hohl (both by H. M. Waidson) and on others primarily known as dramatists (von Unruh; Zuckmayer), whereas major prose fiction writers like the Mann brothers and the Austrian novelists of the period are excluded. Most contributions, like the four on women writers (Marieluise Fleisser, Agnes Miegel, Ina Seidel and Hermynia zur Muhlen), contain basic information useful even to specialists, but only a few, e.g. those on Remarque and Ernst Junger, are as valuable from a critical point of view. Weber, Handbuch, as well as several pieces on individual writers listed below, contains two excellent survey chap­ ters on Bavarian writing during our period: the editor's own 'Litera­ tur von der Prinzregentenzeit his in die erste Republik (I 885-I923)', pp. 3 I s-33; and w.

  • 'Please, God, Keep Me from Writing a Book About Books!'
    INTRODUCTION ‘Please, God, Keep Me from Writing a Book about Books!’ ķĸ So, why didn’t I follow this plea by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg? Th e answer lies in a handwritten inscription in one of my father’s books, which he pre- served from his youth into my own lifetime: ‘Only he who fi ghts for the world attains it!’ My grandfather wrote this to his adolescent son, most likely at the beginning of the 1940s. And in 1944, my father, barely 18 years old, did indeed set out to ‘fi ght for the world’, in Hitler’s Wehrmacht. But the fact that it was not his war rapidly became apparent to the young man. He was lucky and survived, and later this inscription moved me immensely. What could have induced my grandfather to address such a personal motto to his son? At such a time? Th e book that had been dedicated to my father was Karl Aloys Schenzinger’s Anilin (Aniline), which – as I was to learn much later – was one of the genuine bestsellers of the Nazi era. And as a teenage reader, I made a number of other discoveries in my father’s bookcase, such as green cloth-bound volumes by Hans Dominik – old science fi ction stories in Gothic type that could only be read with great diffi culty. I found some of the heroes as disconcerting as the villains, but read on regardless. I also recall very well the stories of the two members of the Hitler Youth who had Abenteuer in Brasilien (Adventures in Brazil).1 At the end of the book, they obey the summons to return to their homeland, where they are needed in Hitler’s Wehrmacht.

Signed……………………………………………….. (Rosemary Anne Sillars) Date…………………………………….. Abstract The novels, poems and journalism of Ina Seidel and Vicki Baum were part of that everyday popular literature read and enjoyed by an international audience throughout the years of the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and beyond. Their wide distribution and popular themes ensured that they reached a diverse public, but their publishers aimed their attentions at that female readership whose buying-power and literary tastes were now acknowledged as a significant market-factor. Both authors recognised their powerful position and took upon themselves the responsibilities, with which they believed they were thus endowed, to enlighten, educate and inform. They wrote from a view of themselves as creative artists with particular literary skills but, above all, as women. Understanding ‘womanhood’ as their primeval inheritance, they saw a woman’s physical powers of generation and nurture as part of the order of the natural universe, uniting them with other female beings.
