Charges that a number of prominent West German professors, attached to various universities in this country, have Nazi records or are still “active Nazis” were made here in a pamphlet issued today by a well-known journalist here, Kurt Selinger. He named some of the accused professors.
According to Mr. Selinger, one prominent professor who has expounded racist theories justified his anti-Semitism in 1941, when Hitler’s forces invaded the Soviet Union. Another scholar, the journalist charged, was a member of the staff of the department in Hitler’s foreign ministry that dealt with the Jewish question. Among other alleged ex-Nazis, the author stated, is a man still employed by the present government in Bonn as an expert on the Middle East while holding a chair in a big German university.
