Abstract

When Nazi Germany forced Jewish scholars and professionals to flee Europe, many disciplines found homes for them in the United States. One did not. The journalism profession made little effort to help their European colleagues. The nation’s accredited journalism schools did not add a single displaced European scholar and rebuffed pleas to re-educate foreign journalists. If anything, practicing journalists were more hostile. This monograph seeks to fill a gap in the vast literature on the intellectual migration, explores the ways in which the American journalism community could have assisted their European colleagues, and offers possible explanations for their inaction.
