History / Biographical NoteBiographical / HistoricalWolf Franck was a German scholar and radio broadcaster who relocated to New York during World War II. Franck was a radio broadcaster in Berlin, but moved to Paris in 1933 after Hitler came to power in Germany. He wrote several books, including one on exiles, and many articles, and associated with Andre Gide, Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Berthold Brecht, among others. In June 1940, when the Germans began their occupation of Paris, he was captured, sent to a French concentration camp but escaped and ended up in Casablanca. President Franklin Roosevelt gave Wolf Franck a personal visa to emigrate to the United States in 1941. Wolf Franck met his future wife Jane Franck while at Columbia University and they married in 1953. |
