Notes | The exiled writers were divided over the issue of Germany. Thomas Mann had not known about the concentration camps until April or May 1945, though what he then learned filled him with revulsion and fury. “Germany is detested by the whole world today as the archetype of Evil,” he wrote in his essay on concentration camps for the Frankfurter Presse on May 10, 1945. [...] Lion Feuchtwanger suggested that “three million Nazis must be arrested, killed, or exiled.” Bruno Frank “called for an army of occupation for a generation as the only guarantor of peace,” while Alfred Döblin thought that “Educating the Germans is almost hopeless because the majority of the professional classes are Nazis.” (see Frank in "Ideas Crossing the Atlantic", p.242). |
