In the autumn of 1940, the British radio station BBC asked the German Nobel Prize winner for literature, Thomas Mann, to compose short radio lectures in his exile in California, which were broadcast to Nazi Germany. Mann wrote 55 speeches by the end of the war. The sponsoring association of the Thomas Mann House meeting place in Los Angeles has taken up the idea of radio speeches again and is organizing the series “55 Voices” with speeches for democracy, which the SZ prints and Deutschlandfunk broadcasts.
