I introduced this early transit reflection of political exiles fleeing Nazi persecution -

Robert Grötzsch: Hledáme nový domov. Román o emigraci. S předmluvou Swena Steinberga (Olomouc: Burian a Tichák, 2025), 188 pages 

masarykovaakademie.cz/cats/aktuali...

The book was written by the German Social Democrat, journalist, writer and refugee Robert Grötzsch who fled to Czechoslovakia in March 1933, it was published in 1936 in Bratislava as "Wir suchen ein Land. Roman einer Emigration"

Today, the first time Czech translation of "Our Quest for a Homeland. Novel of an Emigration" from 1936 has been presented at the Masarykova demokratická akademie / Masaryk Democratic Academy @feps-europe.eu in Prague

I’ve always wanted to know who I was in a previous life. Apparently, I lived in the summer of 1924 in Montana near Big Timber (naturally in the Crazy mountains), according to a report in the "Sweet Grass News" from July 9, 1924
