Fry, Varian, 1907-1967
Varian Fry, an American journalist, was sent to France in 1940 as an emissary of the Emergency Rescue Committee, a private American relief organization formed in 1940 in New York to aid refugees in Vichy, France who stood in danger of Nazi persecution; Fry expedited the emigration of many prominent intellectuals. He made the acquaintance of Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel in Marseilles in August 1940 and helped them make their way safely across the border into Spain and then to Portugal, from whence they emigrated to the U.S.
