Download Asylum: A Survivor's Flight from Nazi-Occupied Vienna Through Wartime France AudioBook Free
A recently discovered account of your Austrian Jewish writer's flight, persecution, and clandestine life in wartime France. As arts editor for just one of Vienna's main magazines, Moriz Scheyer recognized lots of the city's foremost designers, and was an important literary journalist. Along with the arrival of the Nazis he was compelled from both job and home. In 1943, in hiding in France, Scheyer began drafting that which was to become this reserve. Tracing events from the Anschluss in Vienna, through life in Paris and unoccupied France, including a period in a French focus camp, contact with the Level of resistance, and clandestine life in a convent caring for mentally handicapped women, he provides an extraordinarily brilliant consideration of the events and connection with persecution. After Scheyer's fatality in 1949, his stepson, disliking the book's anti-German rhetoric, demolished the manuscript. Or thought he did. Lately, a carbon backup was within the family's attic by P.N. Singer, Scheyer's step-grandson, who have translated and provided an epilogue.
