On another level, In Transit offers perspectives on the Occupation of France and the Vichy regime — the so-called Dark Years — that have not been part of the Vichy debate. So how did German Jews who fled from Nazi Germany to France narrate and document their experiences? This book tells their stories, and in a sense brings them back home to Germany, where they always wanted to belong. It is high time to bring these narratives out of exile and place them firmly on the ground of the Vichy regime.Biographical note: Ruth Schwertfeger is Professor of German at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her dissertation at Oxford on the German Expressionist Georg Kaiser led to her engagement with exile studies and with the Holocaust. Schwertfeger is the author of Women of Theresienstadt and Else Lasker-Schüler, both published by Berg Publishers, Oxford and The Wee Wild One: Stories of Belfast and Beyond, published by the University of Wisconsin Press.Jewish refugeesFranceHistory20th centuryJewsPersecutionsFranceHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)FranceWorld War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, JewishHistory and criticismJews, GermanFranceHistory20th centuryJewish refugeesHistoryJewsPersecutionsHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)World War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, JewishHistory and criticism.Jews, GermanHistory944/.004924Schwertfeger Ruth1462190MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785633603321In transit3671048UNINA
