This is the first academic treatment of the life and work of Henry
William Katz (1906-1992) who has been forgotten by scholars and
critics for fifty years although his first novel won him the
Heinrich-Heine-Prize in exile in 1937. From a combined literary,
historical, biographical and sociological perspective, Ena Pedersen
analyses Katz's depiction on the Eastern European Jews in Galicia,
Weimar Germany and in exile, focusing on the problems of
anti-Semitism, assimilation, German-Jewish symbiosis, and Jewish
identity. The book further provides a first biography of Katz and
places him in the context of German exile literature through
comparisons with contemporary Jewish and non-Jewish writers in
exile.
