An unsigned letter attributed to the professors of Gottingen University is published in the Nazi-controlled press here today, denouncing the resignation of Professor James Franck as an act of sabotage. Professor Franck, one of the German-Jewish winners of the Nobel Prize, withdrew from his post at the university in protest against the anti-Semitic policy of the new government.
The letter, purporting to be from his former colleagues, scores him for his “unpatriotic act” and demands that government measures for the expulsion of the Jews be expedited.
