This chapter focuses on Jella Lepman’s experience and her activities as a political refugee in the United Kingdom between 1937 and 1945. Even though in later years Lepman did not speak much about this period and the early historiography did little to counter her own silence, I aim at demonstrating that these years were in fact formative for her later career in post-World War II Germany. At the heart of the chapter is therefore a careful reconstruction of her collaboration with British and American services in the 1940s and a study of the origins of the book Women in Nazi Germany that Lepman published under a pseudonym with Victor Gollancz in 1943. Her later activities in the American Zone of Occupation thus stood in direct continuity to her pre-1945 work exploring possible re-education strategies for Germany.

摘要

This chapter focuses on Jella Lepman’s experience and her activities as a political refugee in the United Kingdom between 1937 and 1945. Even though in later years Lepman did not speak much about this period and the early historiography did little to counter her own silence, I aim at demonstrating that these years were in fact formative for her later career in post-World War II Germany. At the heart of the chapter is therefore a careful reconstruction of her collaboration with British and American services in the 1940s and a study of the origins of the book Women in Nazi Germany that Lepman published under a pseudonym with Victor Gollancz in 1943. Her later activities in the American Zone of Occupation thus stood in direct continuity to her pre-1945 work exploring possible re-education strategies for Germany.
