Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Walter S. G. Kohn (1923–1998) was a professor for political science at University of Illinois in Normal, Illinois, until he got retired in 1986. He published many scientific articles and books. In about 1995 he wrote his autobiography. He was born in Lichtenfels, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. During Nazi-time in 1936 he got dispelled from his school (Realschule Lichtenfels, today: Meranier-Gymnasium) when he was 13 years old because he was Jewish. This school, at that time a private foundation, had been co-founded and co-financed by his grandfather Samuel Kohn (1851–1922). Due to the sack, discrimination and ostracism Walter had to emigrate to England where he graduated. In 1947 he emigrated to the United States where he made his doctorate in 1953.
Deutsch: Walter Samuel Gerst-Kohn (1923–1998) lehrte für rund drei Jahrzehnte am Department of Political Science an der University of Illinois in Normal, Illinois. Er veröffentliche zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Beiträge in Fachzeitschriften und Bücher. Seine Autobiographie verfasste er etwa 1995. Er wurde in Lichtenfels, Oberfranken, geboren. Während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde er als 13-Jähriger von der Realschule Lichtenfels (heute: Meranier-Gymnasium) verwiesen, weil er jüdischer Abstammung war. Diese Schule, damals eine private Stiftung, war von seinem Großvater, Samuel Kohn (1851–1922), mitbegründet und mitfinanziert worden. Der Rausschmiss, die Diskriminierung und Ausgrenzung zwangen ihn zur Emigration, zunächst nach England, wo er seinen Abschluss machte und 1947 in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo er 1953 promovierte. Den entsprechenden Sichtvermerk für England und die USA hatte ihm der Verwaltungsbeamte Wilhelm Aumer (1883–1958) vom Bezirksamt Lichtenfels 1938 in seinen Reisepass eingetragen, entgegen der NS-Verordnungen, die lediglich die Angabe eines Staates erlaubten. |
