The study identified 133 Jewish veterinarians in Germany (1918-1945), revealing their persecution under Nazi rule. Many faced job loss, imprisonment, and death, with few receiving posthumous recognition.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary History
  • Social History of Medicine
  • Nazi Era Studies

Background:

  • The study investigates the professional lives and persecution of Jewish veterinarians in Germany between 1918 and 1945.
  • It contrasts their low initial numbers (1.6%) with the broader German Jewish population (0.77%) and other medical professionals.

Observation:

  • Jewish veterinarians faced increasing harassment and discrimination following the National Socialist rise to power in 1933.
  • The "Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums" (Law for the Restoration of Civil Service) led to the dismissal of many Jewish veterinarians from public positions.
  • Following the November 1938 pogroms, many remaining Jewish veterinarians were arrested and imprisoned.

Findings:

  • By January 31, 1939, all Jewish veterinarians in Germany lost their licenses.

  • Out of the identified 133 individuals, 55 successfully emigrated, 19 died in concentration camps or ghettos, and two committed suicide.
  • Until 1997, there was a lack of official recognition or rehabilitation for these veterinarians.

    • Implications:

    • The study highlights the systematic persecution of a minority professional group during the Nazi era.
    • Posthumous degree renewals and apologies in 2003 marked a belated acknowledgment of the injustices faced by German Jewish veterinarians.
    • This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of Nazi policies on all segments of society, including the veterinary profession.
