Bruno Frank was one of the German intellectuals who fled Nazi Germany during the 1930's. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1937, and became prominent among the German exile community in Los Angeles. While in exile, he wrote two important novels, "Cervantes" (1934) and "der Reisepass" (1937). He also worked in the film industry, and made contributions to "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1939) and "Madam Curie" (1943). Frank also helped found the European Film Fund, which supported unemployed exile writers by soliciting funds to subsidize studio contracts.
