Best remembered today for his brilliant study of early German cinema, From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological Study of the German Film , and for his involvement with the Frankfurt School (he mentored Theodor Adorno), Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) was the editor for cultural affairs at Germany's leading liberal newspaper, the Frankfurter Zeitung , during the Weimar Republic until its disastrous end.
