description: "Peter von Mendelssohn (1908–1982) was a German writer and historian. Of Jewish heritage he was forced to leave Germany following the Nazi Party's rise to power in 1933. He became a prominent member of the exile community, along with figures such as Thomas Mann. In 1936 settled in Britain where he became a naturalised subject. His 1932 novel Schmerzliches Arkadien was adapted into a 1955 film Marianne of My Youth."
