Biography
Biography
Helene Münz (married 1908–1957), with whom he had two sons, Paul Glass (born 1910) and Georges Glass (born 19 October 1917, Vienna). Following the Nazi takeover of power in Germany in 1933, Glass' production companies were shut down and he was forced to go into exile in France. Glass again worked as a producer, but ran into further trouble following the German invasion of France during the Second World War. In 1942 the collaborationist Vichy Government stripped him of his citizenship. Glass and Werner then went to Brazil and United States for the remainder of the conflict, only returning to France once the war was over. They finally married in 1957.
