Edith TAGLICHT (born on July 2nd, 1901 in Gainfarn, NÖ), had graduated at the Philosophical School at the University of Vienna in German language and literature Studies on November 11th, 1925 with the academic degree 'Dr. phil.' (dissertation: 'Das Purimspiel des König Ahasveros bei Schudt').
In times of Nazism she was deprived of her academic degree on July 14th, 1942 with the racist argument, that she 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.
