Wrote "Hymn of Hate"
Ernst Lissauer, the German poet who wrote the "Hymn of Hate" against England in 1914, was ruined by this work. Throughout the war, about 60,000,000 Germans recited it almost daily, says Collier's Weekly. In 1919 Lissauer's countrymen, ashamed of their past vehemence, exiled him to Austria where, until his death, his works were banned, as in Germany.
