In this dual biography of Erika and Klaus Mann, the eldest children of German author Thomas Mann, Andrea Weiss offers a view of the literary and intellectual life, political turmoil, and shifting sexual mores of their time. The book starts with Erika and Klaus's childhood. The account of the make-believe world they created shows an early sign of their talents and of the intensity of their relationship. Both were writers, and performance artists. Erika was known as the founder of a political cabaret in pre-war Berlin. Other themes in the book are their artistic achievements under the shadow of a famous father, their homosexuality, the political commitment as anti-fascists in Nazi Germany, and the exile in the United States in World War II. Klaus later became a heroin addict and commited suicide in 1949.

What would you do if speaking out against injustice put your life in danger? What would you do if your whole world started falling apart around you? What would you do if your right to freedom was threatened? What would you do if you were faced with a life-or-death choice? Escape to Life, From Syria to Safety is the true story of Mohammed Al Ali, a paramedic in war-torn Syria, who dealt with death every day, but who ultimately chose life. Fleeing Syria, he kept walking, one foot in front of the other, confronting danger, heartbreak, sorrow and exhaustion at every step of the way. Facing and fighting his fears, holding on and never giving up, he kept telling himself: "It's not over until I find peace and freedom." This is one man's story, but it is also the story of every one of us who has ever taken a risk and made a brave choice that will inevitably overturn our life, but which might just open up a bright, new future. Are you faced with making life-changing decisions? Do you have the strength to choose? Mohammed's story gives us a unique insight into the human tragedy that has affected millions of Syrians, yet it also offers hope in this ever-changing world, where stability and security can no longer be taken for granted.

After 1933, New York City gave shelter to many leading German and German-Jewish intellectuals. This compendium, adopting the title of a volume published by Klaus and Erika Mann in 1939, explores the impact the US, and NYC in particular, had on these authors as well as the influence they in turn exerted on US intellectual life. Moreover, it addresses the transformations that took place in the exiled intellectuals thinking when it was translated intoEnglish and addressed to an American audience. Among the individuals presented in this volume, are such prominent names as T.W. Adorno, H. Arendt, W. Benjamin, E. Bloch, B. Brecht, S. Kracauer, the Mann family, S. Morgenstern, and E. Panofsky. The authors of the essays in this compendium were free to choose the angleand aspect deemed best to illuminate the given intellectual s work. Acclaimed NYC photographer Fred Stein, himself a German exile, produced numerous portraits of exiled intellectuals and artists. A selection of these compelling portraits is reproduced together in this book for the first time."
