["Samuel Fischer, the most successful publisher of fiction at the time, had been looking for a successor to run his company since the early death of his son Gerhart in 1913 and won Bermann to join the publishing house in October 192 5. Bermann was promoted to managing director three years later and, in view of the increasingly tense political situation, founded an AG for publishing rights in Switzerland as early as 1932. He brought newly concluded contracts with authors into this working group and thereby protected those concerned from possible attacks by the National Socialists., In 1936, Bermann decided to leave part of the company in Germany and sell it under the name of S. Fischer to a publisher that was not a thorn in the side of the Propaganda Ministry. This part should be directed by Peter Suhrkamp and intended for 'unencumbered' authors. Bermann wanted to transfer the other part with the critical writers to Vienna and continue it as a GmbH under the name of Bermann-Fischer Verlag. His project was approved by the authorities, and in March he emigrated to Austria with his wife and three daughters. Here he was able to continue to bring out works by authors such as Thomas Mann, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Hermann Hesse, Mechtilde Lichnowsky and Carl Zuckmayer and keep them on the market. However, as early as March 1938, when Austria was annexed to the German Reich, Bermann was forced to flee to Switzerland via Italy.,." - translation from wikipedia]. Some spots to flyleaf.
