“Born in Vienna, [Peter Drucker] was a young lecturer at Frankfurt University early in Hitler’s regime. … Drucker recounts the initial Nazi-controlled faculty meeting at Frankfurt University, which occurred shortly after Hitler’s rise to power in 1933. … The Nazi commissar wasted no time taking charge of the meeting. Drucker remembers the commissar telling the faculty, ‘Jews would be forbidden to enter university premises and would be dismissed without salary on March 15.’ … [A prominent] liberal rose and said, ‘Very interesting, Mr Commissar, and in some respects very illuminating: but one point I didn’t get too clearly. Will there be more money for research in physiology?’ The faculty were easily bought with ‘the commissar assuring the scholars that indeed there would be plenty of money for ‘racially pure science.’’ The faculty did not push back. (Anyone who’s spent time in academia shouldn’t be surprised.)” (07/09/25)
