Abstract:
The expulsion of Jewish and partly-Jewish students from German universities during 1933-44 was the result of interaction between students, professors, academic administrators, and Nazi diehards, all of whom carried out NSDAP policies. Students acted as a vanguard of Nazism at the universities; their aggressive antisemitism helped to legitimize the expulsion of Jews. Presents reasons why the academic bureaucracy supported the removal of non-Aryans. The few remaining fully Jewish students were expelled from the universities in 1938. However, the administrators and professors, and even the students, were inclined to protect "Mischlinge", who could study in the universities only if they had been in the German or Austrian army, or in the Nazi movement. In the 1940s, Nazi policy concerning non-Aryan students became more radical; the party defeated the Ministry of Education in the struggle over the fate of "Mischlinge", and the universities were increasingly cleansed of part-Jews.
