Correspondence with Fraenkel, Ernst

Prof. Dr. Ernst Fraenkel (1898-1975) was an eminent Jewish-German scholar of political science. When the Nazis seized power he emigrated to the U.S. where he finished The Dual State, his influential study on the political system of the Nazi state. He returned to (West) Germany in the early 1950s and became a founding father of political science as university discipline. He and Alfred Wiener had been acquainted since they had met in New York during the war. See Göhler, G.‚ ‘Ernst Fraenkel (1898–1975)‘, in Jesse, E. and S. Liebold (ed.), Deutsche Politikwissenschaftler: Werk und Wirkung, Baden-Baden, Nomos, 2014, pp. 261-75.
