Adorno. While Benjamin, alongside his everyday worries, writes especially about those projects on which he worked so intensively in the last years of his life, it was \u003cem\u003eGretel Karplus-Adorno\u003c\/em\u003e who did everything in her power to keep Benjamin in the world. She urged him to emigrate to the USA and told him about Adorno’s plans and Bloch’s movements, thus maintaining the connection between the old Berlin friends and acquaintances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe helped him through the most difficult times with regular money transfers and organised financial support from the Saar region, which was initially still independent from the Third Reich.
