    Notes Haeusserman worked as a directing assistant for Max Reinhardt during his exile in the United States. Keeping the memory of Reinhardt alive was Haeusserman's contribution to the "transatlantic myth". Haeusserman, and his father-in-law Ernst Lothar, are representatives of a culturally conservative and Catholic branch of post-war Austrian culture. Haeusserman was the main initiator of the anti-Communist "Brecht-boycott".
