Egon
Erwin Kisch
(1885 - 1948)
Czech journalist and
writer who was converted to communism by the useless bloodbath
of WWI. Worked in journalism after the war in Austria and
Germany. After the ascension to power of the Nazis he was
arrested and then expelled from the country (luckily for him
he was a Czechoslovak citizen!). Traveled around the world to
raise awareness of the barbarity of the Nazis, he lived in
Australia, France, Spain, and amerika. After WWII he returned
to Prague and worked as a journalist for two years before his
untimely death.
