German writer (1871–1950)
People connected to Heinrich Mann
A German novelist who spent the Weimar years skewering power and hypocrisy in prose sharp enough that the Nazis made exile his only option. The elder Mann brother, the one who saw it coming.
Heinrich Mann built his reputation on sociopolitical novels that cut into the machinery of German society. By 1930 he'd risen to president of the fine poetry division of the Prussian Academy of Arts, a perch from which his criticism of Fascism and Nazism grew loud enough to make him a target. When the Nazis took power in 1933, he fled Germany. He was born March 27, 1871, and died March 11, 1950. His younger brother Thomas also wrote, but Heinrich got there first and left on harder terms.
