Franziska Alice KANDLER (born on October 18th, 1912 in Vienna), had graduated at the Philosophical School at the University of Vienna in Classical Philology on December 23rd, 1935 with the academic degree 'Dr. phil.' (dissertation: 'Die Zukunftsweisung am Schluß griechischer Dichtung').
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.
