London, 1934. Austrian actress Elisabeth Bergner dominated the
British theatre scene, poet and director Berthold Viertel shot two
successful films for Gaumont British; two great actors from the
Weimar era, Conrad Veidt and Fritz Kortner, became well-known faces
in English-speaking cinema and the Hungarian journalist Stefan
Lorant launched the first ever continental-style illustrated
magazine for the British newspaper market. Exploring a phase in the
history of Anglo-German relations during which the emigres from
Hitler's Germany were making their influence felt in Britain, Daria
Santini traces their presence in London from around 1933 to 1935
when these characters made their presence truly felt, all while the
Nazi threat loomed on the horizon.
