A well-known supporting actor in Austria and Germany in the 1930s, Donath was active in the anti-Nazi underground before fleeing to Hollywood in 1940. His thick accent made him a natural cinema Nazi, including der Führer himself in 1943's The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler, but his talent soon found other roles-most notably Al Jolson's cantor-father...

In flight from Nazi Germany, she went to Sweden in 1940 through the combined efforts of a member of the Swedish royal family and famed Novelist Selma Lagerlöf, herself a Nobel winner. At 48, the refugee brought with her only an aged mother and the numbness induced by terror. Physically, she was so small that she was at first billeted in a children's home. The daughter of an inventor and industrialist, she had written some poems that were totally commonplace and mostly unpublished. Now, galvanized by the experience of her people, she began...
