In 1943 and 1944, Erika was ac
credited to the U. S. armed forces
as the only woman correspondent
in the Middle East, visiting, among
other countries, Palestine and Iran.
From D-day plus 10, she acted as
correspondent for Liberty maga
zine in the European theater of
war.
Receives U. S. Citation
For these services, Miss Mann
received in 1947, a citation from
Secretary Patterson of the war de
partment, which read in part:
“The war department expresses
its appreciation for patriotic ser
vice to Erika Mann for outstand
ing and conspicuous service as an
accredited war correspondent serv
ing with our armed forces in an
overseas theater of combat.”
Liberty Correspondent
After the war, as correspondent
for Liberty, the London Evening
Standard, and the New York Her
ald Tribune, Miss Mann spent over
a year investigating conditions in
post-war Europe. She toured Ger
many, France, Czechoslovakia,
Austria and other countries of the
continent, working in close cooper
ation with the military govern
ments in the prosecution of the Nu
remburg trials.
Her latest tour was in Czecho
slovakia, Poland, England and
Switzerland, where she gathered
information for her present Amer
ican visit. The tour was not with
out danger, as the speaker traveled
alone and unprotected, frequently
in countries behind the Iron Cur
tain.
Author of “The Lights Go Down”
and “School for Barbarians,” and
co-author with her brother, Klaus
Mann, of “Escape to Life” and
"The Other Germany,” Erika Mann
also writes frequently for such
magazines as Coronet, The Nation,
Vogue, and the Atlantic Monthly.
Authors Plays, Books
Miss Mann has an ambition to
settle down some day to writing
solid fiction, such as produced by
her famous father. She admits a
lack of literary discipline, but says,
“I’ve always known that some day
I’d have to write a novel; it’s too
strong a family habit for me to
escape it.”
As a young girl in Germany,
M ss Mann studied drama under
Max Reinhardt. She became a
playwright with the production of
her satirical revue “Peppermill,”
which was performed more than a
thous-nd times in six countries,
including America.
