Alois RANZENHOFER (born on May 15th, 1892 in Hollabrunn, NÖ), had graduated at the Law School at the University of Vienna on May 4th, 1918 with the academic degree 'Dr. iur.'.
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on July 17th, 1942 with the racist argument, that he as a Jew was not considered dignified an academic degree of a German university ('eines akademischen Grades einer deutschen Hochschule unwürdig').
It took 13 years since the deprivation - and a very long time since the end of Nazism - until the regranting of the doctorate took finally place on May 15th, 1955.
