Research Grants for German Exile Studies
Feuchtwanger Memorial Library
University of Southern California
The Feuchtwanger Memorial Library of the University Libraries at the
University of Southern California announces the availability of research
grants for scholars whose work would benefit from access to German exile
study materials in the University Libraries' archival and printed
collections.
The Feuchtwanger Memorial Library and Archive were given to USC by Marta
Feuchtwanger, the widow of the German exile writer Lion Feuchtwanger
(1884-1958). Lion Feuchtwanger fled Europe during World War II and lived in
Los Angeles from 1941 until his death in 1958. The voluminous archival
material collected by Feuchtwanger includes his personal and business
correspondence, multiple versions of his novels, reviews of his works,
photographs, and other personal artifacts. In addition, the Archive
contains the correspondence of Marta Feuchtwanger who survived her husband
by almost thirty years. Marta Feuchtwanger remained an important figure in
the exile community and devoted the remainder of her life to promoting the
work of her husband. The Archive also includes significant archival
collections for composer Hanns Eisler, writer Heinrich Mann, and literary
scholar Ludwig Marcuse.
