Hitler's Gift

Description:

Hard to just walk by a book, with this title. An account of two subjects of interest of mine: science and WWII. It is the story of the scientists pushed out of Germany in the Nazi era. If you did not know: Jew scientists (and students) were denied access to the universities by Hitler in April 1933, only 10 weeks after he came to power. It caused waves of scientific wanderers. This is their story.
