Hi Olaf, just try to find the information at www.amazon.de or at www.osiander.de Greetings, Andreas www.ernstjuenger.virtualpage.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Olaf Schroeter <olaf.schroeter@gmx.de> An: ernst-juenger-l@maillist.ox.ac.uk <ernst-juenger-l@maillist.ox.ac.uk> Datum: Dienstag, 17.

In 1933 Heinrich Mann became "Ehrenvorsitzender" of the new "Schutzverband Deutscher >Schriftsteller", in 1934 he became President of the "Freiheitsbibliothek" in Paris in rememberance of the Buecherverbrennung a year earlier. >The aim was to collect the burnt works. In 1935 there was an "Internationaler Schriftsteller-Kongress zur Verteidigung der Kultur" , where >Mann appeared as a speaker and received the standing ovations of 5-6000 people in the hall.... From 1935 on he was the "Vorsitzender eines >Ausschusses zur Gruendung einer deutschen Volksfront." Together with people like the Social Democrat Rudolf Breitscheid (who died in a KZ) >and the Communists Wilhelm Pieck and Walter Ulbricht (the "fathers" of the GDR) he signed a petition "Bildet die deutsche Volksfront! Fuer >Frieden, Freiheit und Brot!" that led to nothing. In March 1939 he again tried to get an "Aktionsausschuss von antifaschistischinnen >Emigranten" going that was undermined by the German-Russian "Nichtangriffspakt" later that year. > >(This is from a book called "Heinrich Mann. Bilder und Dokumente." by Wilfried F. Schoeller (Munich 1991) I hope it helps a little...) > >Greetings from Berlin > >Olaf > >btw could somebody help me out with the year of publication of Volumes II, III and XV of the "Saemtliche Werke"?
