Erika and Klaus Mann: Living with America provides new insights
into the lives of Thomas Mann's two eldest children, by focusing on
their years in America. It begins with Erika and Klaus Mann's
self-promotional tour of the United States in 1927-1928, and
follows up with their return in 1936 as voluntary exiles determined
to fight the spread of Nazism in Europe. As children of privilege
and considerable personal charm, Erika and Klaus Mann quickly
became highly visible representatives of the German exile
community. In examining their lives in America, the United States
plays a central role. Just as the Manns' views of America evolved
between 1936 and 1952, so did American public opinion and
government policy. This study examines Erika and Klaus Mann's
public and private statements, while also examining statements made
about them by American journalists, politicians, book critics, and
F.B.I. and immigration officers. It follows the Mann siblings' rise
in America as celebrity representatives of an "other," better
Germany, and the forces that began to rally against them even
before the outbreak of the war. It shows the many concrete actions
the Mann siblings took to persuade Americans to view their country
as one linked to European interests, and it describes their various
war activities, with Erika becoming a U.S. war correspondent and
Klaus an American soldier. Finally, it portrays their fears for
America as the war drew to a close, America deployed the atom bomb,
and the nation quickly transformed itself from Russian ally to Cold
War combatant.
