GERMAN EXILES
Research
Grants for German Exile Studies
The Feuchtwanger
Memorial Library of the University Libraries at the University of
Southern California announces the availability of research grants
for scholars whose work would benefit from access to German exile
study materials in the University Libraries' archival and printed
collections.
The Feuchtwanger
Memorial Library and Archive were given to USC by Marta Feuchtwanger,
the widow of the German exile writer Lion Feuchtwanger (1884-1958).
Lion Feuchtwanger fled Europe during World War II and lived in Los
Angeles from 1941 until his death in 1958. The voluminous archival
material collected by Feuchtwanger includes his personal and business
correspondence, multiple versions of his novels, reviews of his works,
photographs, and other personal artifacts. In addition, the Archive
contains the correspondence of Marta Feuchtwanger who survived her
husband by almost thirty years. Marta Feuchtwanger remained an important
figure in the exile community and devoted the remainder of her life
to promoting the work of her husband. The Archive also includes significant
archival collections for composer Hanns Eisler, writer Heinrich Mann,
and literary scholar Ludwig Marcuse.
