Exiles - Season 1 Episode 1 Erich Fried: Austrian Poet
Erich Fried fled Austria when the Nazis invaded in 1938 and destroyed his family, and went on to become their most famous living poet while residing in North London. Fried now returns to the Vienna of his childhood and visits East and West Berlin, while Observer correspondent Neal Ascherson assesses the relevance of his poetry to what Fried sees as the never-ending battle against the re-emergence of fascism.
