Curious George's creators, Hans Augusto and Margret Rey, were German Jews living in Paris when Nazis invaded in 1940. They fled on bicycles with the manuscript for Curious George in their bags, hours before Paris fell, eventually reaching the US via Spain and Brazil.
There is a theory that it was their own lifestyle that motivated writing about a monkey who was always running to the next thing.
