In Writing Against Hitler, Daniel Siemens reconstructs the history of the struggles of socialist intellectuals in Germany from the 1920s through the post-World War II era by focusing on the life of one influential member of that group, Hermann Budzislawski (1901-78). In the 1930s, Budzislawski served as the editor in chief of the prominent antifascist journal Die neue Weltb?hne. After the German occupation of France, he worked in exile in the United States until 1948, when he moved to East Germany. He became influential in training a new generation of journalists and worked as a politician.

Through the twin stories of a highly ambitious figure and the legendary publication he headed, Siemens charts the course of the intellectual Left's rise and decline in power during the decades that shaped the political divides of the mid-twentieth century. Crucially, his account challenges the widely held belief that post-1989 German unification has represented a victory over the traumas of the past. Instead, Siemens shows the complexity of different strains of socialist thought and activity and reveals the contested place of Nazi Germany's exiles at the center of Cold War Germany's cultural history.
