 Literary Encyclopedia: Mann, Thomas
Paul Thomas Mann was born on 6 June 1875 in Lübeck, an old Hanseatic city, as the second son of Thomas Johann Heinrich Mann, owner of an established grain business and one of the city’s most respected citizens, and Julia Mann, née da Silva-Bruhns, a beautiful, artistically inclined woman of German and South American origins.
Mann’s reputation as the foremost proponent of German culture and humanism, and thus as an icon of resistance to Hitler and his Germany, compensated him for all he had lost in 1933.
Mann is recognized both as an outstanding chronicler and representative of a bygone bourgeois world and as a writer with a profound sensitivity to the traumas of the twentieth century.

 Mann, Thomas
From this time onward Mann's imaginative effort was directed primarily to the novel, scarcely interrupted by the charming personal novella Early Sorrow or by Mario and the Magician, a novella that, in the person of a seedy illusionist, symbolizes the character of Fascism.
Mann's concern is to provide a myth for his own times, capable of sustaining and directing his generation and of restoring a belief in the power of humane reason.
Mann was the greatest German novelist of the 20th century, and by the end of his life his works had acquired the status of classics both within and without Germany.

Writers such as Heinrich Mann, who wrote almost nothing in his late years in the US, would be assiduously documented with the same thoroughness as Feuchtwanger, who continued to write and publish his novels from California, and whose bids for American citizenship Hoover blocked with repeated and ill-concealed glee.
The portion of Mann's career in the US which most alarmed the watchers was an attempt to form a German exile organisation in America, with Mann as its leader and figurehead.
Erika Mann was described in the files as having her hair cut "in a short mannish bob with a part on the right side" and to be close to a group of political actors who were "members of the Hebrew race".

The problem Taylor, Mann, and Walter were addressing is still relevant to our appreciation of not just midcentury German music but of the cultural expressions of all those whose values we find repugnant.
Fortunately for both Taylor and Mann, they did not have to make policy or implement regulations; they were able to debate the issues without really sorting out how to put their views into practice.
As a work of history, it confronts the moral questions not in their abstract, as Mann and Taylor debated them, but as they were dealt with at the time by American officers working in Germany with restricted resources, competing objectives, and imperfect knowledge.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
In December 1934, Erika Mann had written a satirical comedy about Hitler's Germany, The Peppermil, that was banned in Swiss towns; Schwarzenbach, writing in the Zuercher Post, advocated free speech and blamed the banning on right-wing intruders.
Mann even temporarily broke off the friendship because of the friction, which eventually led Schwarzenbach to attempt suicide.
In 1933 the Manns abandoned Germany for Switzerland and later the U.S., and despite Schwarzenbach's support of German refugees, photographer Marianne Breslauer recalls that she and others in that position lost patience with the "Swiss kid," whose personal problems seemed minor compared to the dangers they were facing.

Erika found work as a race car driver(!) and actress (she appeared in the 1931 lesbian classic MADCHEN IN UNIFORM before establishing herself as a theater writer and director), while Klaus tried his hand as a theater critic before publishing The Pious Dance, his novel of sexual discovery, in 1925.
Erika took her enormously popular anti-Nazi cabaret show "The Peppermill" to Zurich and soon after married W.H. Auden (strictly for purposes of citizenship, mind you), while Klaus relocated to Amsterdam, edited a literary monthly and became addicted to heroin.
The resulting collaboration is a strange beast: The sections devoted to Erika are a straightforward documentary overview of her life and work, and is chock full of interviews, photos and archival footage.

 Escape to Life
Chronicling the lives of Klaus and Erika Mann, played out against the tumultuous history of the Roaring Twenties, the rise of Fascism and WWII, this is the latest documentary from from acclaimed partners Greta Schiller and Andrea Weiss (Paris Was a Woman, Before Stonewall).
Their intense sibling relationship, which took root through the imaginative, make-believe world they shared as children, was strained by the demands of life in exile, by Klaus's drug addiction and Erika's gradual shift in loyalty from brother to father, with fatal consequences.
Bringing together rare archival footage and period music, revealing anecdotes from colleagues and friends, TV interviews with Erika Mann, and re-created scenes based on Klaus Mann's writings, Escape to Life is a fascinating tribute to a extraordinary couple.

 village voice > film > Escape to Life: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story by Ed Halter
Andrea Weiss and Wieland Speck's Escape to Life: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story (Quad, opens January 11) chronicles the careers of Thomas Mann's oldest children, both gay actor-writers who performed anti-Fascist cabaret and found themselves in exile during World War II, like many German artists and intellectuals of the period.
This dull combination is, perhaps, an unresolved conflict from the work's genesis, as the film originally began as two separate projects: one a documentary on Erika, the other a set of narrative shorts inspired by Klaus's stories.
The only rationale for the production seems to be that the pair were gay, and therein lies the main problem with this uninspired example of queer-film-festival filler.
