See Benno Herz and Michaela Ullmann at Vroman's
📆 Tomorrow! 8/24 at Vroman's Bookstore — The first public discussion of the new book, "Thomas Mann's Los Angeles: Stories from Exile 1940-1952."
Join us for a conversation between co-editor Benno Herz (Program Director, Thomas Mann House) and contributor Michaela Ullmann, Exile Studies Librarian with University of Southern California Special Collection.
"Thomas Mann's Los Angeles" paints a vivid portrait of the renowned writer's experience through the people and places that helped shape it.
Two of these people, Mann's brother Heinrich and sister-in-law Nelly, have a particularly poignant story you won't want to miss. Hear it straight from Michaela, who wrote about them for the book.
She and Benno will also discuss the book's origins as a pandemic project and what we can learn from the L.A. community of exiles who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s and '40s.
We hope to see you there!
