In April of 1933, The Nuremberg Laws called for the removal of all non-Aryan faculty from German educational institutions.  In response, the Institute of International Education in New York (whose secretary at the time was a young Edward R. Murrow), organized an effort to 91è���� “save the scholarship and research ability of the scholars driven out of the universities of Europe by the Nazi fury. 91è���� ” Seven refugee scholars were sponsored at 91è���� during the war years, including Nobel-prize winning physicist Dr. Jean Perrin, author and political scientist Dr. James Hans Meisel, and Dr. Susanne Englemann, a leading scholar of educational psychology and pedagogy. Collectively, the seven professors 91è���� ’ stories represent the range of experiences of the more than 600 rescued refugee scholars who, having endured desperate escapes, arrived penniless and reliant on the generosity of charitable foundations and US colleges and universities.
