In her comprehensive study of the German exile in Argentina from 1933 -1945, Olga Elaine Rojer examines a fascinating historical paradox: over 45,000 Germans fled the Nazis and settled in Argentina, the Nazi playground of South America. Yet the Germans, unwelcome and unsuited to life in exile, survived through an intricate support network of organizations, publishers, schools, journals, and even theatre. Rojer looks at Latin American life for the German-speaking exile, focusing on the literature produced by the refugees.
