GERMAN SOCIOLOGY UNDER HITLER, 1933-1941.

The article focuses on a list of German scholars who had been dismissed from the faculties of several German universities. The reason for dismissal were Jewish ancestry and political unreliability. Such lists were to appear with alarming frequency during the subsequent years. After that scholars of the Allied Nations denounced, with varying degrees of intensity and awareness, all such practices of the Nazi government, and created agencies which could offer these refugee scholars a minimum of security and hope. Many American scholars, especially those of the older generations, had received all or a part of their training at German universities. This study, in part, represents an attempt to determine, within certain methodological limits, something of the character of German sociology during the Hitlerian regime.
