Edgar Feuchtwanger, born to a Jewish family in post-WWI Germany, faced immense odds during his life, particularly with the rise of National Socialism. Living directly across the street from Adolf Hitler after he moved into Munich in 1929, Feuchtwanger's childhood was marked by political upheaval and influence from prominent intellectuals. His family's eventual emigration to England in 1939 marked a significant turning point, allowing him to escape the Nazi terror. As one of the few remaining witnesses to this tumultuous period, Feuchtwanger's life story is a testament to survival and resilience.
