Villa Aurora is an international meeting place for artists and intellectuals, and the residence fosters a lively exchange in the fields of literature, art, science and politics. It is located in the former home of exiled German-Jewish writer Lion Feuchtwanger, who founded "Der Spiegel" in 1908, and his wife Marta. The house stands as a memorial to all the artists and intellectuals who found refuge from Nazi persecution and had tremendous impact on the cultural life of the west coast of the United States.
