German and Jewish Intellectual Émigré Collections

Personal and professional papers of German-speaking Émigré in the social sciences, humanities, and the arts and the organizations which assisted those who fled the Nazi regime.
In recognition of the serious scholarly interest in the mass migration of German speaking exiles from the Nazi regime, a German and Jewish Intellectual Émigré Collection was established in 1976 at the University at Albany, State University of New York. This growing collection has been developed since the 1970s through the efforts of the University Libraries and Professor John M. Spalek of the University's Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literature Department

General correspondence reflects Ehrmann's professional and private relationships with friends, colleagues, fellow scholars, publishers, editors, and various educational and professional organizations in the United States, France, and Germany. The sub-series contains correspondence with such institutions as the US Senate (including John F. Kennedy's letter to the Ehrmann's), Department of State, and many universities in the USA and abroad. There are also letters from Robert Oppenheimer, Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Eleanor Roosevelt, and correspondence that originated in reaction to Ehrmann's letter on Martin Luther King (published in The New York Times in 1969).

The sub-series contains correspondence from and to the former German prisoners-of-war who met Ehrmann during the reeducation program organized by the War Department. The letters - in several cases written by the prisoners' family members as well - almost entirely date from the period immediately subsequent to the POWs' release and their return to Germany. Therefore, they are a valuable source of information about the living conditions in occupied Germany, the country's political transformation, and the correspondents' adaptation to new circumstances.
