Reinhard Siegmund-Schultze:
Migrace německy mluvících matematiků do Československa a z něj kvůli nacistickému režimu v Německu

Abstrakt

German-speaking migration of mathematicians to and from Czechoslovakia, caused by National Socialism in Germany

For the investigation of German-speaking and non-German-speaking academic emigration during the rule of the Nazi regime in Germany (1933–1945), the files of the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL), now located at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, U.K., are a particularly valuable source for historical analysis. The present article looks at the situation of the German-speaking mathematical refugees who immigrated to or emigrated from Czechoslovakia for political reasons in the period under question. The SPSL files are used for the first for this purpose.
