About this book
A comprehensive telling of the life of Eric Warburg, nephew of the art historian Aby Warburg.
In Eric Warburg, Jeanette Erazo Heufelder tells the story of the nephew of the art historian Aby Warburg, whose world-famous library Eric saved from the Nazis. He was a Jew, a banker, a helper of escapees, an intelligence officer in the US Army, a transatlantic bridge builder, and a Cold Warrior. With the help of the cooperation channels he set up, West German and US social groups were aligned with the West amidst the turmoil of postwar Europe.
The history of the transatlantic partnership has become highly topical; since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, it has been invoked in Europe as a key reassurance. Eric Warburg's life, and that of Aby Warburg's library, tells the story of Europe's twentieth century, the legacy of which continues to inform and inspire the transatlantic partnership today.
