Fred Uhlman (Stuttgart, 1901-London, 1985), of Jewish origin, left Germany in March 1933, shortly after Hitler was appointed chancellor. He lived for a while in Paris and later in Spain (in Tossa de Mar), from where he also fled when the civil war broke out, and after returning to Paris for a few months, he reached London; there he founded the Artist’s Refugee Committee and the Free German League of Culture, among whose members were Oskar Kokoschka and Stefan Zweig. In 1971 he published Reunion, and in 1985 his "response", A Courageous Soul.
