Abstract
Only a minority of those who fled Germany because of Nazi “racial” persecution returned permanently after 1945.1 Naturally the process of remigration was highly complex and fraught with psychological, bureaucratic and material obstacles, and returnees must have felt highly vulnerable. Few German universities or academics extended a welcoming hand. The feeling in Germany was quite widespread that emigrants who had left the country were “traitors”, and that those who had stayed were now the “victims” of the lost war.
