Johann COUDEK (born on October 4th, 1907 in Vienna), had graduated at the Law School at the University of Vienna on July 18th, 1932 with the academic degree 'Dr. iur.'.
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on October 28th, 1944 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 11 years since the deprivation - and a very long time since the end of Nazism - until the regranting of the doctorate took finally place on July 4th, 1955.
