The seizure of power by the National Socialists in Germany in 1933 and in 1938 in Austria severely limited free development of literature. In order to protect literary freedom and to express resentment against the policies of Hitler, many writers decided to emigrate. The purpose of the article is to present the emigration journey of Franz Theodor Csokor, the only Austrian writer who chose Poland for the country of his exile. In 1938 he left his homeland and returned after seven years of exile in 1945. His journey led through Poland, which he was forced to leave because of the war, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Croatia, Curzola and Italy. The author presents the writer’s wartime experience that has been expressed in Csokor’s literary works. He briefly mentions works that were created during the expatriation. At the end the author makes a review of Csokor’s publications and his work.
