Erwin J. Warkentin received his PhD from the University of Alberta in German Language and Literature in 1995, having written his dissertation on the author of Draußen vor der Tür (The Man Outside), Wolfgang Borchert. It was while conducting research at the Borchert Archives at the University of Hamburg in 1992 that he came across some books in Borchert”s personal library that indicated that they were published under license of OMGUS and the ICD, which, in turn, gave rise to his interest in information control in post-war Germany. Warkentin has since published extensively on post-war German literature and culture with his book, Unpublishable Works being the first English language biography of Borchert, which has helped spark a renewal of interest in this important author and playwright. Since arriving at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, where he is an Associate Professor of German and an Associate Professor of Communications, he has broadened his scholarly interests to include propaganda and persuasion.
