In her well-documented study, Irmtraud Ubbens focuses on the life and work of Moritz Goldstein, a writer and journalist, whose emigration from National-Socialist Germany took him first to Italy and England and, finally, to the USA. Based on her differentiated sources and using Goldstein's correspondence as a backdrop, she provides a vivid account of the émigré writer's inner conflict, caused by the gradual loss of his mother tongue, his most important tool. The Appendix presents texts written by Goldstein after 1933.
