Title
Zur Zwangsemigration deutschsprachiger Neurowissenschaftler nach Nordamerika : Der historische Fall des Montreal Neurological Institute
Abstract
The author discussed the forced migration of German-speaking neuroscientists to North America in the 1930s and 1940s, focussing specifically on those that found a home within the Montreal Neurological Institute. He points out that he loss of nearly thirty per cent of all academic neurologists and psychiatrists in Germany between 1933 and 1945 destroyed the basis of German-speaking new scientific research or, at least, disrupted it in various areas for a long and very critical time. The individual fate of Karl Stern (1906-1975), Heinz Lehmannn(1911-2000) and Fred Andermann (b. 1930) is scrutinized in particular respect to their impact on interdisciplinary work in the modern neurosciences at the Montreal Neurological Institute.
