Robert Neumann (1897-1975) was a well known Weimar era poet and novelist; his anti-nazi novels were publicly burned, and he soon after emigrated to England. “A witty and ironical writer and a gifted political and social satirist, he had a fondness for the erotic and a genius for parodying modern poets. After the war, when he settled in Switzerland, he wrote an autobiography, Mein altes Haus in Kent (1957) , and then turned to somber themes relating to the Holocaust. Works of this kind are the documentaries, Ausfluechte unseres Gewissens (1960) , on Hitler's "Final Solution"; Hitler, Aufstieg und Untergang des Dritten Reiches (1961) ; The Pictorial History of the Third Reich (1962) ; and Der Tatbestand oder Der gute Glaube der Deutschen (1965) .
