- Summary:
- "This is the first English translation of the memoirs of the great German-Jewish theater producer Ernst Josef Aufricht. Aufricht's book is most notable for its insider's account of the Berlin theater scene from the great days of the late 1920s and early 30s. Its range, however, from school years and the military to his time as an actor and then producer, the rise of the Nazis, and finally long years of exile in France and America. The book will be of interest to an academic audience, but its reflections on a period of momentous artistic and political events will expand its appeal to a wider group: those interested in twentieth-century German history, music and theater history, as well as the general reader. Benjamin Bloch is a clinical psychologist who grew up speaking German at home with his native German father and studied German and English Literature."--Provided by publisher.
