The National Socialist Party took control over Germany in the year 1933, which resulted in an emigration wave among those whom had been persecuted by the party. The author Erich Maria Remarque includes this thematic aspect in a series of three novels and Arc of Triumph is one of them. He combines two different perspectives on exile, on the one hand discussing the societies perception on the emigrant and on the other hand analysing the psychological status of the illegal emigrant. In the following article I intend to depict the imagine of an emigrants destiny, as illustrated by the writer and exemplified by his main character Ravic, who is living illegally in Paris in 1938.
