Parallel to revocation of his license. [Meant to cite where I found this document, but have misplaced it.]

On January 22, 2015, the University symbolically restored doctorate degrees to those Jews whose degrees had been revoked in 1940. See this report and this Times of Israel artice.

The University of Wrocław and the University of Cologne are unanimous in affirmng that during the national-socialist dictatorship in Germany in 1933-1945, organs of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Breslau, acting on political and racial grounds, gravely wronged members of the academic community.

During these years, organs of the German University of Breslau revoked doctoral degrees, removed students and instigated persecution which lead to dismissals, expulsions or threats to life.

These acts of political persecution violated human rights. They were unlawful, arbitrary, characterized by contempt for human beings, and unworthy of a university. Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Breslau perpetrated injustice against the victims of those wayward actions. The university organs responsible for the persecution radically repudiated the very ideals which today govern the University of Wrocław and University of Cologne.

Further, both universities declare that they regard the revocation of academic degrees of the persons named here as null and void, and thus not legally binding.

The existing university archive records mention more than 250 persons who were subject to Nazi persecution and deprived of the doctoral degree. Since the records are incomplete, it can be inferred that there were yet other persons unlawfully deprived of their doctorates. The present declaration also pertains to this group.
