| The ruthless Nazi onslaught on Jews stripped Germany of its intellectual and artistic life, with thousands of refugees bringing their talents to Britain and America, often helped by the little-known Varian Fry, who personally rescued hundreds from under the noses of the Gestapo. This book tells their stories and assesses the legacy of some of the most famous - including scientists Einstein and Krebs, art scholars Pevsner and Gombrich, musicians Walter and Schoenberg, and authors Brecht and Mann. | |||||
