Erich TÜRKEL (born on August 6th, 1909 in Vienna), had graduated at the Medical School at the University of Vienna on February 2nd, 1934 with the academic degree 'Dr. med.'.
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on September 11th, 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.
