Deutsche Altertumswissenschaftler im amerikanischen Exil

This study reconstructs the histories of ten German classicists who lost their jobs in Nazi Germany and who later built new lives for themselves despite great adversity: M. Bieber, K. Lehmann-Hartleben, E.Jastrow, O. Brendel, K. von Fritz, E. Kapp, P. O. Kristeller, E. Abrahamsohn, E. M. Manasse, and P. Friedländer. In preparing the book, the author carried out painstaking original work in the archives of the most important aid organizations, universities, and literary estates of these emigrants and their supporters.
