Mission: Villa Aurora's purpose as a European-American Foundation is to foster an understanding of current European and American developments in the arts and literature. The house is a meeting place for intellectuals and artists from both Europe and the United States, a venue for the lively exchange of ideas in the fields of literature, art, culture, academia, and politics. A cultural monument to German exiles on the West Coast, Villa Aurora's aim is to keep alive the memory of a time when representatives of both cultural and intellectual life were forced to flee from the Nazi regime, seeking and finding refuge in Los Angeles.
