'Wolf Man' writer reflected wartime Jewish experience

Screenwriter Curt Siodmak was a German Jew of Polish descent who fled Europe for Hollywood in the 1930s to escape persecution from the Nazis. So there's little wonder that his 1941 Universal horror classic "The Wolf Man" parallels the experiences of Jews in Europe before and during World War II.
