Moses Joseph Roth was born 2 September 1894 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and worked as a journalist and novelist. In 1927 he published "Juden auf Wanderschaft," a fragmented account of Jewish migrations from east to west following World War I and the Russian Revolution. His novel *Job* appeared in 1930, depicting Jewish life, then *Radetzky March* in 1932 - a family saga spanning the empire's decline and fall. He died 27 May 1939. The 21st century saw English publications of his Berlin and Paris journalism revive attention to his work.
