Theodor Kramer

Theodor Kramer (1897-1958), son of the Jewish municipal doctor of Niederhollabrunn, in Lower Austria, was mobilised in 1915 and gravely wounded at the front in June 1916, which left him disabled for life. He gave up law for lack of money and was a bookseller and publisher's representative until 1931. He wrote some twelve thousand poems, of which only a small part has appeared. Banned by the Nazis, he reached England in 1939 with the help of Thomas Mann, was interned there as an enemy alien, became a librarian in Guildford and returned to Vienna only in 1957.
