Franz Werfel
Franz Werfel (1890-1945) was an Austrian-Bohemian novelist and playwright, recognized for his profound literary works that often explored themes of spirituality and human suffering. A prominent figure among the exiled intellectuals fleeing the Nazi regime, Werfel's notable works include 'The Song of Bernadette,' which reflects his deep Catholic faith and lyrical storytelling. His life took a dramatic turn during World War II, as he was forced to escape the Nazis, eventually finding refuge in Marseille, where he became part of a vibrant community of exiled writers and artists.
