Feuchtwanger, Lion, 1884-1958. Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, ca. 1938-1964.

Title: Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, ca. 1938-1964.

The correspondence includes a copy of a letter addressed to the German people ("Aufruf an das deutsche Volk"), endorsed by Heinrich Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Bertolt Brecht. Dr. Kurt Rosenfeld sought Werfel's endorsement of the letter, which Rosenfeld intended to submit at the German American Emergency Conference to be held in March 1942; Werfel responded directly to Feuchtwanger, explaining in detail his difficulties with the letter's formulations. A carbon copy of a form letter from Werfel reflects a group effort on the part of German and Austrian exile writers meeting at the house of Lion Feuchtwanger; the letter makes mention of emergency contracts having been extended to some exile writers in Hollywood and having now expired, and solicits funds for the further support of several writers. The telegram sent jointly by Lion and Marta Feuchtwanger offers condolences upon the death of Franz Werfel; the 2 letters from Marta Feuchtwanger are birthday wishes to Alma Mahler, in 1959 and 1964, and recall with gratitude assistance Alma had extended to the Feuchtwangers during the Nazi era, around 1940. In a letter of 1941 Lion Feuchtwanger writes to Alma Mahler on behalf of Ernst Römer, who was endeavoring to perform one of Gustav Mahler's symphonies in Mexico; Feuchtwanger includes a transcript of Römer's letter to him.
