A Transcending Bond. Essays and Memoirs by American Germanists of Austro-Jewish Descent. Edited by Charles S. Merrill and Susan E. Cernyak-Spatz.

14 contributions combine scholarly commentary with vivid personal documentations of the work and life of 12 ex-Austrian Germanists, exiled to the US after 1938. The essays of this volume chronicle, in classically undramatic scholarly prose, the often terrifying dramatic events of their half-century hegira. Including contributions by Wolfgang Kraus, Harry Zohn, Walter H. Sokel, Joseph Fabry, George E. Wellwarth, Evelyn Torton-Beck, Peter Heller, Carl Steiner, Franz Bäuml, Alfred Hoelzel, Susan E.
