Wilhelm Herzog

Wilhelm Herzog (1884-1960) was a German writer and intellectual known for his contributions to literature and his involvement in the anti-Nazi movement. As a Jewish intellectual, Herzog faced persecution under the Nazi regime and sought asylum in France, where he became part of the community of exiles in Marseille during the tumultuous years of World War II. His experiences in internment camps during this period shed light on the plight of intellectuals fleeing oppression.
