Dear Parents Letters from a Child in Exile; Edgar Feuchtwanger in England 1939

In 1939, 14-year-old Edgar Feuchtwanger fled from National Socialist Germany to England. His parents initially stayed behind in Munich. The letters he wrote to them, initially in German and then in English, are published here for the first time. In a conversation with his daughter Antonia Cox, the 100-year-old described how he made the most of his early days in England. In her foreword, editor Anja Tuckermann describes the lifethreatening situation in Germany and uses additional documents to show how the family got along in England.
