Exiled in Paradise: German Refugee Artists and Intellectuals in America from the 1930s to the Present

Anthony Heilbut

Synopsis:
A brilliant look at the writers, artists, scientists, movie directors, and scholars--ranging from Bertolt Brecht to Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Thomas Mann, and Fritz Lang--who fled Hitler's Germany--and how they changed the very fabric of American culture. In a new postscript, Anthony Heilbut draws attention to the changes in reputation and image that shaped the reception of the German exiles.
