Jewish Exile in India 1933-1945 by Anil Bhatti

Jewish Exile in India 1933-1945 by Anil Bhatti

Fascism in Europe, exile in India. This is a relatively unexplored area of cultural, historical and literary research. The history of emigration of anti-fascist writers, scholars and artists -- most of whom were of Jewish and minority origins -- from Central Europe, especially Germany, to North and South America and other parts of the Western world as well as the former Soviet Union is well documented. Work has also been carried out on exile in non-European centres like Shanghai. Less well known is the fact that during the period of fascist rule in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, a number of Central European emigrants moved to India. This emigration movement and the varied histories of the émigrés themselves have so far been largely neglected in the historiography of Central European Jewish and anti-fascist exile.

Anil Bhatti is Professor of German, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. His areas of research concern questions of literature, colonialism and Orientalism with special reference to India, Germany and Europe. Johannes H. Voigt retired in 1995 as Professor of History, University of Stuttgart. He is presently working on the relations between Germany and India since the Second World War.
