This volume contains a selection from the proceedings of a conference organised by the International Feuchtwanger Society titled 'To Stay or not to Stay? German-speaking Exiles in Southern California after 1945'. The conference, held in September 2011 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and at Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades, explored the decision faced by all German-speaking exiles in Southern California at the end of World War II whether to return to Europe or stay in the United States. The volume opens with an analysis of the experiences of post-1945 remigrants as reflected in a major exile publication, Der Aufbau. Six chapters focus on the particular case of Lion Feuchtwanger, illuminating the circumstances which led him to remain in California after 1945. Subsequent chapters throw fresh light on other members of the German-speaking literary community in California. Studies focusing on remigration from the UK and the Soviet Union widen the discussion, as do chapters on the problems faced by professional musicians exiled in East Asia and in Palestine. The volume concludes with the experience of remigrants in the media and film industry during the early post-war years. Der vorliegende Band enthalt ausgewahlte Vortrage, die auf der von der Internationalen Feuchtwanger Gesellschaft organisierten Konferenz "Bleiben oder Zuruckkehren? Deutschsprachige Exilanten in Sudkalifornien nach 1945" gehalten wurden. Die Konferenz, die im September 2011 an der Universitat von Sudkalifornien in Los Angeles und in der Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades stattfand, beschaftigte sich mit der weitreichenden Entscheidung, die die deutschsprachigen Exilanten in Sudkalifornien nach Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges treffen mussten: Sollten sie nach Europa zuruckkehren oder in den Vereinigten Staaten bleiben? Der Band beginnt mit einer Analyse der in der wichtigen Exil-Publikation Der Aufbau beschriebenen Erfahrungen von Remigranten nach 1945. Sechs Kapitel haben den speziellen Fall Lion Feuchtwangers zum Thema und untersuchen die Umstande, welche zu seiner Entscheidung fuhrten, nach 1945 in Kalifornien zu bleiben. Die darauffolgenden Kapitel eroertern neue Erkenntnisse uber andere Mitglieder des deutschsprachigen Literatenkreises in Kalifornien. Untersuchungen zur Remigration aus England und aus der Sowjetunion sowie zu den Problemen exilierter Musiker in Ostasien und Palastina erweitern und erganzen die Diskussion. Der Band schliesst mit Beitragen zu den Erfahrungen der Remigranten in den Bereichen Medien und Film im Deutschland der fruhen Nachkriegszeit.
