Category: Deprivation of academic degree
Edwin BADER (born on March 23rd, 1891 in Pohrlitz b. Nikolsburg, Mähren [Pohorelice, Tschechische Republik] in 1975 in New York), had graduated at the Medical School at the University of Vienna on January 29th, 1916 with the academic degree 'Dr. med.'.
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.
