Marianne HOFFMANN (GEB. SCHLEIFFER) (born on March 6th, 1894 in Vienna), had graduated at the Philosophical School at the University of Vienna in Chemistry on November 18th, 1921 with the academic degree 'Dr. phil.' (dissertation: 'Zur Kenntnis der 5,6-Dimethoxyphtalidkarbonsäure und die Benzilsäure').
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.
