Abstract:
Windfuhr, a Protestant minister, taught post-biblical Hebrew and Aramaic at the University of Hamburg. He was an anti-Nazi who in November 1933 published, in the "Israelitisches Familienblatt", a refutation of Bishop Müller's antisemitic pronouncements. The Nazis questioned the legitimacy of Jewish studies at the university, but university authorities defended them. Eventually, however, restrictions on his teaching led Windfuhr to resign.
