Enoch Publishing Co.

After his arrival in the United States Kurt Enoch established the Enoch Publishing Co. in New York in cooperation with Henry G. Koppell.

His experience in the publishing business dated back to 1922 when he was manager of his father’s publishing house Gebr. Enoch und Oscar Enoch.

He immigrated to Paris in 1936 and was able to establish new publishing and export companies by selling his businesses in Germany.

When the Germans occupied France, Enoch was detained because of his German citizenship. He left France in October 1940. That was quite difficult because he was enrolled in the French army. He could escape to the South of France where he met his family and got a visa from the US consulate in Marseille.
