Joachim Schumacher (Author)
Joachim Schumacher (born October 21, 1904 in Berlin ; † September 8, 1984 in Woodbury , Connecticut ; pseudonym : Lukjan Detector ) was a German-speaking author who emigrated from Germany in 1932 because of his political views.
Life
Joachim Schumacher wrote the foreword to his best-known work, The Fear of Chaos , in 1936 in Saint-Tropez , which was "then still free of tourists" , where he was staying as an illegal emigrant. For the new edition of the work in 1972 he wrote an addendum to this foreword, this time from Woodbury, Connecticut , USA. After St. Tropez he was via Switzerlandcome where he had a lover whom he fled to in 1932. He had decided to do this after it had become clear to him that he “had no inclination to become an ineffective martyr in Germany” or “to go to Moscow as a pilgrim”. Looking back from 1972, he describes himself as an "anti-fascist" and attacks, just one side further, the communism of Moscow. There he was defamed with the “idiotic keyword 'Trotskyist'”.
