Abstract:
Eugen Täubler, a German-Jewish scholar of Jewish and classical studies, resigned in 1933 from the University and from the Akademie der Wissenschaften in Heidelberg. He began to develop various projects for resettlement of the German Jews. In 1933 he even submitted his proposals to the Reich Chancellery. It was only in 1941 that the Hebrew Union College succeeded in bringing him to the USA. In the 1940s Täubler was accused by one of his former disciples, Julius Lewy, of pro-Nazi and pro-Hitler sentiments. Contends that, in fact, Täubler, as Ernst Kantorowicz before him, was not a Nazi supporter; but his commitment to the German cultural heritage ran so deep as to engender rationalizations and delusions regarding developments in Germany in the 1930s.
