Camill Hoffmann (1878-1944) was a Czechoslovak Jewish diplomat and writer born in 1878.
An ardent Czechoslovak nationalist, Hoffmann was appointed to the diplomatic corps as a cultural attache in Berlin.
As the rising Nazi Party became increasingly belligerent, Hoffmann began using his political clout and connections to help German Jews, including Leon Trotsky's son, who he aided in escaping Berlin.
[1] During 1939 he was mobilized on behalf of Max Brod, Franz Kafka's friend and literary executor.
He was unsuccessful, however, and the materials remain lost, pursued still by the Kafka Project at San Diego State University.
