Autorenporträt

LIONEL B. STEIMAN is Professor of History at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, where he has taught for over twenty-five years and served as Associate Head and Graduate Chair of his department. His interest in antisemitism derives from a Lutheran upbringing in Winnipeg's polyglot Jewish north-end. He has taught courses in European history and special courses on the history of war, fascism and antisemitism. In addition to numerous articles on Stefan Zweig and Franz Werfel exploring themes of identity and exile, he is the author of Franz Werfel: the Faith of an exile, from Prague to Beverly Hills, which examines the paradox of a writer of Jewish origin who became a propagandist for Roman Catholicism.
