Über den Autor

Gabriele Tergit (1894-1982) was a novelist and reporter who rose to fame in 1931 with her first novel, Käsebier Takes Berlin. A group of SA-men tried to force their way into her home in 1933 after she criticised the Nazis; she fled first to Czechoslovakia and then to Palestine before settling in London. There, she worked on her colossal novel of generations of German-Jewish life, The Effingers (1951), and acted as secretary of the PEN Centre for German-language writers abroad.
