Abstract:
A bio-bibliography of German-speaking philologists (from East-Central Europe as well as Germany and Austria) who were forced to emigrate for reasons of race or political opposition, or went abroad simply to further their careers. Includes scholars who emigrated as minors and acquired a profession in the lands of refuge. Pp. 52-62 describe endemic antisemitism in the Wilhelmine and Weimar periods, which was especially strong at the universities and slowed the advancement of Jews. Finds no justification for the lack of solidarity of their colleagues with the Jewish faculty members dismissed under the Nazi racial laws, but notes exceptions of support for Jews. Explains the hesitation of many Jews to emigrate by the impossibility of foreseeing the Holocaust, as well as by immigration restrictions of the host countries (partly motivated by antisemitism). Discusses varying degrees of conformity and non-conformity with the policy propagated by the Reichskulturkammer not to publish articles by Jewish scholars and not to mention them by name.
