Karl Ludwig SCHLAM (born on November 16th, 1898 in Lemberg, Galicia/Austro-Hungarian Empire [later Lwów/Poland, today Lwiw|Львів/Ukraine], had graduated at the Law School at the University of Vienna on May 22nd, 1924 with the academic degree "Dr. iur.".
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on February 28th, 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.
