Refugee Mathematicians from Nazi Germany with an Emphasis on the UK

Explore the historical impact of refugee mathematicians who fled Nazi Germany to the United Kingdom in this 58-minute Rothschild Public Lecture delivered by Professor Reinhard Siegmund-Schultze from the University of Agder. Gain insights into the individual stories, global contributions, and lasting legacy of these displaced scholars who significantly influenced mathematical development in their host countries. The lecture, part of the Modern History of Mathematics (MHM) event series at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, draws from Professor Siegmund-Schultze's extensive research documented in his book "Mathematicians Fleeing from Nazi Germany: Individual Fates and Global Impact." Scheduled for March 27, 2025, this talk examines a critical period in mathematical history when political persecution led to an unprecedented migration of intellectual talent.
