Abstract:
On Charles Wassermann, Henry Kreisel and Carl Weiselberger, all of whom were Austrian Jews (Wassermann and Kreisel were teenagers) who fled via Great Britain to Canada after the Anschluss. After England declared war on Germany they were interned in camps as "enemy aliens", and soon afterwards deported to Canada, where they were also interned in camps. Later on, they became Canadian writers in different fields - TV and radio, fiction, and art history - in German or in English, or in both languages.
