Plight of Refugees in Paris Is

Theme of reuchtwanger's
"Paris Gazette"

Heroism in exile!
No better phase could possibly
sum up the tragedy of expatriates
and voluntary refugees from Ger-
many who are sheltered in Paris.
It is a phrase which is aptly ap-
plicable to tl a great novel by
Lion Feuchtwanger "Par,is Ga-
zette," which the Viking Press
published this week.
In 860 pages, this great au-
thor has painted a picture which
does not have its equal in the
•mluminous library about the ex-
iles produced in the last seven
years.
The story centers around two
imortant thews: the kidnaping
of a Jewish newspaperman, an
exile from Germany, by the
Nazis whO smuggled him across
the border to Germany, and the
sabotaging of an anti-Nazi news-
paper in Paris—the "Paris Ga-
zette" which also serves as the
title for this magnificent novel.
The life of the refugees in
Paris is mirrored in the pages
of this opus magnum. The central
figure is Sepp Trautwein who is
torn between two callings, his
music and his newspaper work.
He is about to complete a great
musical composition. But the
kidnaping of the Jewish journal-
ist, Fritz Benjamin, induces him
to join the staff of Paris Gazette
—P. G. it becomes known--
against the pleadings of his wife
who is later, as a result of the
conflict in ideas, driven to sui-
cide. His wife imagines that she
no longer has any meaning for
him. His son contributes to trag-
edy when he turns to commu-
nism and leaves for Russia. This
Christian refugee family is the

central group in this book in
which are blended the machina-
tions and characteristics of Jew-
ish and non-Jewish refugees, of
Nazi officials, of events and
schemes which present in bold
form the life of an uprooted
people that has beat replanted
elsewhere in a strange environ-
ment.
Perhaps the most interesting
chapter in the entire book is the
one entitled "Unwelcome Guests,"
in which Feuchtwanger de icribes

as Jews. There were many, both
Jews and Gentiles, who had left
voluntarily because they felt they
could not breathe the atmosphere
of the Third Reich, and there
were others who would have
given their heads to be able to
stay in Germany if only they
were allowed to earn a living.
But one of the essential points
of the National Socialist program,
indeed the only one that was
actually carried out, was that
political opponents, personal ene-
mies or rivals of the new rulers,
and certified Jews should be de-
prived of all means of livelihood,
56 that they might (lie off like
fish in a dried-up pond. Many of
these German emigrants had been
imprisoned, beaten up, humili-
ated, defrauded, and had
friends and relations who had
perished in Germany, and many
were working in foreign coun-
tries for the overthrow of the
hated regime. But there were
also others who were prepared to
approve the new order, who had
never felt, inched had hardly
known, that they were Jews, and
who, .when they , found them-
selves suddenly branded as Jews,
and therefore as inferior crea-
tures, because of some entry in
a register, had been driven only
with the utmost reluctance to
leave the country that had been
their home for centuries. Among
these exiles, that is to say, there
were people of every kind, some
of whom had been driven out of
Germany for their opinions and
some simply because of a birth
certificate or other accident;
there were both voluntary and
compulsory emigrants."
The several additional pages
devoted to the analysis of the
refugees are magnificent. So is
the entire book, with its blending
of characters and situations.
"Paris Gazette" overshadows
even The Oppermans," Mr.
Feucthtwanger's previous great
book about a persecuted German
Jewish family, and assumes a
place of first rank among novels
of our day.
