June 26, 1940. Lotte and Stefan Zweig leave Great Britain on the passenger steamer RMS Scythia for the USA, seeking asylum in Brazil via a detour. On the same day, Hilde Palm – née Löwenstein – and Erwin Walter Palm also flee England. They make it via Canada to the Dominican Republic, where they live in exile for over 20 years until they return to Germany, where Hilde Palm publishes her first poems under her pseudonym Hilde Domin…
