LIFE AND CASES - FREDERICK ALEXANDER MANN GEBUNDEN

Life and Cases - an (unfinished) autobiography of F. A. Mann  who arrived in London as a
German-Jewish émigré  forced to leave Germany on the cusp of a promising career in German
academia. He retrained as an English solicitor to become one of the leading lawyers of his
time.From the introduction of Mann's autobiography:I write [an autobiography]  because I am
persuaded that it is my duty to tell the story of a world that has disappeared  but should not
be forgotten  - the story of a highly cultured German Jewish bourgeois milieu which perished in
Auschwitz  though my nearest and dearest succeeded in escaping. The history of the rise and
fall of that social class merits to be preserved  but stands in danger of falling into oblivion
on account of the lack of specific material  - no great novel describing its drama and tragedy
has yet been written.
