Selig Hecht: correspondence
1 folder
This collection consists of 2 letters written by Selig Hecht, a German born American scientist, on a visit to Europe. The first, a letter to a colleague back home, outlines the problems facing Jewish academics in Nazi Germany, and introduces the second which is a much more detailed picture of the privations suffered by Jewish academics and also the indifference of the non-Jewish population, and the culmination of a latent antisemitism in the profession that had long pre-dated the Nazi seizure of power. The latter is addressed to Alfred Cohen. Others mentioned include Willstaetter, Fajans, and Alfred Wiener in his role as Syndikus or director of the organisation Centralverein deutscher Staatsbuerger Juedischen Glaubens.
