| Found in | The German translations of Paul Verlaine's lyric poetry, 1950: title page (Justus Rosenberg) New York times, 1 May 2016: Metropolitan section, page 1 ("The professor has a past," Justus Rosenberg is thought to be the last remaining member of an extravagant team assembled by the journalist Varian Fry in 1940 to provide safe passage out of Vichy France to anti-fascist intellectuals and cultural figures fleeing the Nazis. Mr. Fry was something of a Raoul Wallenberg for artists: Two thousand men and women, including Hannah Arendt, Marc Chagall and André Breton were sheperded to safety by Mr. Fry's network. In Toulouse in 1939, an American acquaintance, Miriam Davenport, Americanized his name to "Gussie." In 1959 [Rosenberg] joined the New School teaching political and cultural history once a week -- a position he held until 2013. In 1962, he joined the Bard faculty, where he worked with luminaries like Isaac Bashevis Singer and Chinua Achebe.)
