Insensitivity In Communicating With EmigréS
Immediate hardship in Germany contaminated communications between physicists at home and abroad. But their official or private reactions to emigrés were frequently clumsy and haughty, if not downright offensive. Their insensitivity and tendency to pass over the gruesome regime years as if nothing had happened or to claim ignorance — which was certainly doubtful in the case of project leaders (von Laue, Hahn) — irreparably damaged former friendships. Not having stayed to the bitter end, how could emigré physicists legitimately judge?
Keywords: insensitivity, ignorance, Max von Laue, Otto Hahn
