Review Quotes: "A magisterial study."
--Independent
--Financial Times "A monumental study, an impressive testament to the experiences, achievements and far-reaching influences of the refugees."
--Scotsman "Jean-Michel Palmier published books on Georg Trakl, Hegel, Lenin, Lacan and Marcuse, as well as studies on German expressionism and a great work on the fate of anti-Nazi intellectuals, Weimar in Exile, celebrated by the Académie française. Everything fascinated him. He was a scholar who anxiously, almost mystically, quested after knowledge, and reminded one of a medieval philosopher even more than of a Renaissance man of letters. He was obsessed with art and culture. He was a surveyor of the past who tracked its faintest traces."
--Le Monde Diplomatique "A monumental work."
--Le Monde "This is an extraordinary book: in its historical breadth, its command of literature, documents, and archival material, its ambitious scope, and its sweeping judgments."
--Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies
