Hermann Broch
Died in 1951
Hermann Broch was born in Vienna in 1886 and for a long time ran the family spinning mill at Teesdorf, in Lower Austria; he sold it in 1927 and studied mathematics, philosophy and physics at the University of Vienna. Arrested in March 1938 and held for three weeks, he was able to emigrate thanks to the support of fellow writers, among them Joyce, Thomas Mann and Einstein, and reached the United States by way of Scotland. There he worked on a theory of mass madness and died in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1951.
