1933

I left Germany on the beginning of May after the nazis had pursuedme for a long time. Formerly- before 1933- I was a member of parlia-ment( Reichstag ) from 1919- 1933 and I was fighting publicly against" Nationalsozialismus ".

I went from Germany to the Saar territory, where I had- by day-a home for refugees political from Germany . After the plebiscite on theJanuary 15, 1935, I led to France ( Mulhouse in Alsace- Lorraine ). I wasliving there together with friends. These are editors of a weekly news-paper against Nazism " Freiheits- Korresponz"( Freed om Correspondence).

On the June 14, 1940, the day of which German troops occupied Paris ,a few friends of mine and myself fled from Mulhouse to the west border ofFrance ( Basses Pyrenees ). In the end of September 1940 the US ConsulGeneral of Marseille , France , gave us visas to this country, but I couldnot go because the French Government refused me the exit visa. On Febru-ary 15, 1940, I receive my exit visa and I went to Martinique Island andafter four weeks in camp I came to New York .
