Hermann Budzislawski founded the Verlag "Die neue Weltbühne" in Prague in 1934 and published an eponymous journal as the successor of the weekly Die Weltbühne. Budzislawski had been the editor-in-chief of Die Weltbühne before Edith Jacobsohn sold him the company and renamed it. 5,000 to 6,000 copies per issue were published.
In 1938, the company relocated to Paris where it published the first issue of the journal in June 1938. In August 1939, the journal was banned. Many of the articles were political and sympathized with communism (although they were largely anti-Stalinist).
After the publishing house was shut down, Budzislawski was arrested and subsequently set free, apparently by accident. He was able to flee to New York via Lisbon in October 1940.
