Germany “ruined, sucked dry, body and soul” as a result of the Nazi regime is described by Thomas Mann, the German author, in a letter to the dean of Bonn University replying to notification that his honorary doctorate from that university had been withdrawn because of his loss of German citizenship. The letter is made public by Ludwig Lore, New York Post columnist.
“The more knowledge of who these men are who chance to possess the pitiful outward power to deprive me of my German birthright suffices to make the act appear in all its absurdity,” Dr. Mann states.
