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

The series contains a typescript entitled "Historical Monograph: Re-education of Enemy Prisoners of War" (2 file folders), which is a large collection of reports, memoranda, copies of letters, and sample examination and questionnaire forms used in the project. Included in the monograph are also: an outline of the series of Ehrmann's lectures "Deutsche Geschichte in neuen Licht", sample issues of POW magazines "Der Ruf" (an English translation) and "Auslese" (in German), and an appendix on the reeducation program of Japanese prisoners-of-war (a short two-page section on Italian POWs appears earlier in the collection). Beyond the monograph, there are several other documents pertaining to the reeducation program, including a report entitled "A Reorientation Program Seen Through the Eyes of German Prisoners" and Ehrmann's report on the German History Department at Forts Getty and Wetherill. The series also contains some educational materials developed especially for the project, such as "Kleiner Führer dürch Amerika", "America from the Inside", and Ehrmann's lectures on the history of Germany, as well as newspaper clippings related to the topic.
