Among those emigres who took up residence in Los Angeles were also some of Europe's leading literary figures, including Franz Werfel, Thomas Mann and Lion Feuchtwanger.
What's a bit off in the Santa Fe event (wish I could attend) that Marco's drawn our attention to, is its being billed as "Jewish Refugee Composers in America": Rozsa was a lifelong Lutheran who only learned of his family's Jewish origins in the late 1980's or early '90's.
Waxman was brutally beaten by brownshirts in Berlin, precipitating his and his wife's flight to America, but it seems odd to exclude Korngold, as his story is probably the most immediate and poignant: only his grudging acceptance of the assignment to score "The Adventures of Robin Hood" saved him from what likely would have been a fatal return to the Austria he longed for.
As for Max Steiner, he was certainly a Jew, but no refugee, having arrived in the U.S. in 1914 when Hitler was still a faceless corporal in the trenches of World War I.
