Hanns Martin Elster
writer & National Socialist
When on 11th December 1933, in infinite naivety, the Jewish
writer Werfel applied for admission to the »Third Reich
Association of German Writers«, for which he even submitted
a declaration of loyalty to the Hitler regime, he had to be
told, despite being recommended by his writer colleague Hanns
Martin Elster, that there was no longer a place for Jews in
German literature. Werfel never recovered from the loss of
his identity as a writer.
