The years 1933 to 1946 were disastrous for the study of Eastern Europe in Germany—more so than for most other fields of research. Hitler's attitude toward Russia and Eastern Europe as well as toward Jews led to the exodus of a number of scholars (among them Fritz Epstein, Viktor Frank, Herbert Freund, Waldemar Gurian, Sergius Yakobson, the brothers Kulischer, Wolfgang Leppmann, Leo Loewenson, G. Ostrogorskij, Richard Salomon, Alexander von Schelting, Leopold Silberstein).
Editor's Note: Data for this paper was collected in January, 1950. Since that time, two of the scholars mentioned here have died: George Wunderle in April, and Leonid Breitfuss in July, 1950.
