Lion Feuchtwanger
Lion Feuchtwanger was a renowned Jewish-German writer and one of the most notable figures of exile during the Nazi regime. On January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler came to power, Feuchtwanger was in the United States, escaping the imminent threat of arrest due to his outspoken opposition to the Nazis. He spent his years in exile primarily in southern France and Los Angeles, enduring both comforts and challenges, including internment in a French camp and a perilous escape over the Pyrenees.
