Alfred STERN (born on July 26th, 1884 in Vienna), had graduated at the Law School at the University of Vienna on July 11th, 1906 with the academic degree 'Dr. iur.'.
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on July 22nd, 1943 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 12 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.
