Lorant was editor of the Munich Illustrated Press and was put into "protective custody" the day after Hitler took over the Bavarian government. He recorded his experiences as a political prisoner in his work, I was Hitler's Prisoner. After he was released he relocated to England, where he founded a monthly magazine, Lilliput.
