Research in National Socialism: foreign and racially persecuted scientists and their scope. In spring 2006, the so-called "Debye affair rocked" the scientific community. The Dutch physicist and Nobel laureate Peter Debye (1884-1966) was assumed by science journalists Sybe Rispens to have made during the Third Reich as a handmaiden of the Nazis. Based on this allegation, the authors analyze not only the scientific and political contexts in the life and work of Peter Debye. Above all, they contrasted his biography with resumes of other scientists who worked in the Third Reich, as well as with Jewish physicists Lise Meitner and Hartmut Kallmann, which were made by the Nazis to "strangers" in their own country. The spectrum of this critical investigation also includes researchers and institutions who worked under the terms of the German occupation.
...MoreDescription On this Dutch physical chemist who worked in Germany just before the Second World War.
