This is a social history of refugees escaping Hungary after the Bolshevik-type revolution of 1919, the ensuing counterrevolution, and the rise of anti-Semitism. Largely Jewish and German before World War I, the Hungarian middle class was torn by the disastrous war, the partitioning of Hungary in the Treaty of Trianon, and the numerus clausus act XXV in 1920 that seriously curtailed the number of Jews admitted to higher education.

Sigismund von Radecki (1891–1970) stammte aus dem Baltikum und war als Schriftsteller und Übersetzer tätig. Aus seinen umfangreichen Korrespondenzen werden in diesem Band die 136 frühesten erhaltenen Briefe veröffentlicht, vermehrt um 19 weitere Dokumente. Die Edition bietet sämtliche Schreiben im vollen Wortlaut und erschließt sie durch einen ausführlichen Sachkommentar sowie eine biographische Einleitung.

Gleichzeitig ging das deutschbaltische Milieu, in dem er aufwuchs und dem er sich verbunden fühlte, samt seiner Familie unter. Diese gegenläufige Entwicklung verleiht der Ausgabe ihr besonderes, charakteristisches Gepräge.
