Guido WESSELY (nee PLOHN) (born on June 13th, 1906 in Vienna), had graduated at the Law School at the University of Vienna on February 21st, 1931 with the academic degree 'Dr. iur.'.
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on May 8th, 1941 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 67 years since the deprivation - and a very long time since the end of Nazism - until the regranting of the doctorate took finally place in 2008.
