Erich Maria Remarque

Erich Maria Remarque (1898–1970) was born in Osnabrück, Germany, and was drafted into the German army at eighteen. He was wounded multiple times on the Western Front, and those experiences became the raw material for All Quiet on the Western Front, published in 1929. The novel made him world-famous and made him a target: the Nazis revoked his citizenship, banned his books, and eventually executed his sister.
