1. Da Geht Ein Mensch
Roman einer Jugend
A candid autobiography tracing a journey from a poverty‑stricken Jewish shtetl in Galicia to the heights of the Berlin stage, set against the upheavals of the early twentieth century. With warmth and irony, it portrays apprenticeship and artistic awakening, the exhilarating ferment of Weimar theater, the shock of Nazi persecution, and a perilous flight into exile that ultimately leads to new beginnings in America. It is both a portrait of a life in art and a testament to resilience, humor, and hope amid dislocation.
