When Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933, the Physical Society included prominent Jewish scientists as members, including Fritz Haber and Albert Einstein. As Jewish scientists lost their jobs and emigrated, the Society gradually lost members. In 1938, under pressure from the Nazi Ministry of Science, Education, and Culture, the Society forced out the last of its Jewish colleagues. This action was just the most prominent example of the tension between accommodation and autonomy that characterized the challenges facing physicists in the society. They strove to retain as much autonomy as possible, but tried to achieve this by accommodating themselves to Nazi policies, which culminated in the campaign by the Society's president to place physics in the service of the war effort"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 |tForeword / |rby Eberhard Umbach -- |g1. |tGerman Physical Society under National Socialism in context / |rMark Walker -- |g2. |tBoundaries and authority in the physics community in the Third Reich / |rRichard H.
