Speaker to Discuss
Allied Occupation
Erika Mann, who is scheduled
to speak in JtcArthur court at 7:30
* p.m. Thursday, is exceptionally
well posied on events and condi
, tions in Europe. The famous
daughter of Thomas Mann has,
since her family’s voluntary exile
* from Germany before the war, ded
icateed her life to the destruction
of fascism and the promotion of
the democratic ideal.
Miss Mann, whose topic Thurs
» day will be “Occupation, Trial and
Error,” has made frequent tours
of Europe, both before and after
*■ the war. During the war years, she
acted variously as foreign corre
t spondent, radio news analyst, and
author. In conjunction with her
brother, Klaus Mann, she wrote
- “Escape to Life” and “The Other
Germany.” She is also author of
“School for Barbarians” and “The
' Lights Go Down.”
After her departure from Ger
„ many, Erika Mann traveled
throughout Europe wherever the
»■ tension was greatest. Before the
of Germany, she cooperated close
v ly with allied military govern
ments in the prosecution of war
trials.
* She interviewed key people
wherever she went.- She closely
studid Russian methods of occu
? war she visited Republican Spain,
and Czechoslovakia at the time of
*■ the Munich crisis. During the war,
she was in London at the height of
the blitz, where she made frequent
' broadcasts for BBC.
During 1943-1944, she was the
only woman correspondent in the
Middle East, visiting, among other
countries, Palestine and Iran.
Starting on D-Day plus 10, she
covered the western front for Lib
j- erty magazine.
For her excellent work in war
reporting, Miss Mann received a
* citation signed by former Secre
tary of War Patterson. The cita
► tion read in part: “The war de
partment expresses its apprecia
» tion for patriotic service to Erika
Mann for outstanding and conspic
* uous service as an accredited war
correspondent serving with our
armed forces in an overseas thea
ter of combat.”
Soon after the end of hostilities,
!■ Erika Mann resumed her tours of
Europe. As correspondent for
newspapers and magazines in the
United States and Great Britain,
she spent over a year investigating
» conditions in postwar Europe. In
Frankfort, Munich, and other cities

pation as compared to those of the
western powers—and was present
at the discovery of the Nazi mas
terfile, the card-index of all party
members. This file proved to be
one of the greatest documentary
finds of the war. She was the only
woman permitted to interview Her
mann Goering and other high Ger
man war criminals in their cells at
Mansdof where they awaited trial.
In 1947, Miss Mann returned to
Europe for further study of recon
struction work. Gathering mate
rial for her current lecture tour
of the United States, she spent
four months in Czechoslovakia,
Poland, and Switzerland.
In addition to her accomplish
ments as a writer of books, Erika
Mann has written articles for nu
merous magazines and newspapers
in America and Great Britain.
As a girl, she studied for the
stage under Max Reinhardt. Her
greatest success in this field was,
however, not as an actress, but as
a playwright. She is the author of
“Peppermill,” a stirical revue which
met with wide approval in the
United States and other countries.
