About This Book

This volume contains a selection from the proceedings of a conference organised by the International Feuchtwanger Society titled 'To Stay or not to Stay? German-speaking Exiles in Southern California after 1945'. The conference, held in September 2011 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and at Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades, explored the decision faced by all German-speaking exiles in Southern California at the end of World War II whether to return to Europe or stay in the United States.
The volume opens with an analysis of the experiences of post-1945 remigrants as reflected in a major exile publication, Der Aufbau. Six chapters focus on the particular case of Lion Feuchtwanger, illuminating the circumstances which led him to remain in California after 1945. Subsequent chapters throw fresh light on other members of the German-speaking literary community in California. Studies focusing on remigration from the UK and the Soviet Union widen the discussion, as do chapters on the problems faced by professional musicians exiled in East Asia and in Palestine. The volume concludes with the experience of remigrants in the media and film industry during the early post-war years.
Der vorliegende Band enthĂ€lt ausgewĂ€hlte VortrĂ€ge, die auf der von der Internationalen Feuchtwanger Gesellschaft organisierten Konferenz «Bleiben oder ZurĂŒckkehren? Deutschsprachige Exilanten in SĂŒdkalifornien nach 1945» gehalten wurden. Die Konferenz, die im September 2011 an der UniversitĂ€t von SĂŒdkalifornien in Los Angeles und in der Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades stattfand, beschĂ€ftigte sich mit der weitreichenden Entscheidung, die die deutschsprachigen Exilanten in SĂŒdkalifornien nach Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges treffen mussten: Sollten sie nach Europa zurĂŒckkehren oder in den Vereinigten Staaten bleiben?
Der Band beginnt mit einer Analyse der in der wichtigen Exil-Publikation Der Aufbau beschriebenen Erfahrungen von Remigranten nach 1945. Sechs Kapitel haben den speziellen Fall Lion Feuchtwangers zum Thema und untersuchen die UmstĂ€nde, welche zu seiner Entscheidung fĂŒhrten, nach 1945 in Kalifornien zu bleiben. Die darauffolgenden Kapitel erörtern neue Erkenntnisse ĂŒber andere Mitglieder des deutschsprachigen Literatenkreises in Kalifornien. Untersuchungen zur Remigration aus England und aus der Sowjetunion sowie zu den Problemen exilierter Musiker in Ostasien und PalĂ€stina erweitern und ergĂ€nzen die Diskussion. Der Band schliesst mit BeitrĂ€gen zu den Erfahrungen der Remigranten in den Bereichen Medien und Film im Deutschland der frĂŒhen Nachkriegszeit.
