Lost LA
German Exiles (Preview)
During World War II, Los Angeles served as a sunny sanctuary for European artists and intellectuals fleeing Nazi persecution. We explore the archive of a German Jewish author at USC’s Doheny Memorial Library, tour a Pacific Palisades house famed for its literary salons and visit the Paramount Pictures studio lot, where exiles set the stage creatively for the filmmaking industry.
