Summary

This volume describes and analyses the highly successful careerof the Dutch physicist and Nobel prize winner P.J.W. Debye (1884-1966) in the Third Reich. The book sketches the life of a man wholived for science, but at the same time maintained close contactswith influential officials, industrialists and sometimes even politicians.In this context Debye declined to respond in public to thetreatment of Jews in society in general and in science in particular,even after his migration to the United States in 1940. By combininga biographical perspective with network analysis and researchon contemporary moral assessments, this book sheds new anddisturbing light on Debye’s socio-political worldview and hisinvolvement in the Aryanization of German science.
