Jewish emigrants and German science

Michael Schüring1

  1. Max Planck Society, Wilhelmstrasse 44, D-10117 Berlin, Germany

The News report (Nature 409, 443; 2001) on my research concerning emigrants from the Kaiser Wilhelm Society stated that the Max Planck Society has "reneged on a 1948 promise to contact Jewish scientists expelled from its laboratories during the Third Reich and offer them their jobs back".To the best of my knowledge no such promise was ever made and there was no general policy for the reintegration of emigrants.
