Exiled German-Speaking Intellectuals in Los Angeles

During the 1930s and 1940s, many German Jews and intellectuals fled Nazi Germany. At first many of them moved to neighboring European countries seeking a haven for their religious and political views. As the National Socialists expanded their control throughout Europe, the German exiles were again in grave danger. Those who were able to escape across the Atlantic finally found safety in the United States. Some of these writers, artists, and intellectuals gathered in New York; however, Southern California's warm, Mediterranean-like climate attracted many to live on the West Coast.

This web site provides information about some members of the German émigré community who lived in Southern California during the bitter war years. Biographical information and current photographs of their homes is provided. The photographs in these pages are located in the Feuchtwanger Memorial Library.
