Manfred HOFFMANN (born on June 6th, 1896 in Vienna), had graduated at the Philosophical School at the University of Vienna in Chemistry on December 9th, 1921 with the academic degree 'Dr. phil.' (dissertation: 'Zur Kenntnis des Purpurogallins').
In times of Nazism he was deprived of his academic degree on July 14th, 1942 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 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.
