``A cool farewell to Europe'' -- Vienna 1938 and the exodus of mathematics. Exhibition catalogue (Q2753150)

This is the catalogue to an exhibition on the emigration of mathematicians from nazified Austria after 1938 which was organized by the author. It took place in September/October 2001 in the University of Vienna on the occasion of the joint meeting of the Austrian and German Mathematical Societies in September of that year. The catalogue includes copies of several of the interesting and partly unpublished materials presented at that exhibition, in particular pictures and documents concerning emigré mathematicians such as Karl Menger, Kurt Gödel, and Eduard Helly. The fate of murdered mathematicians such as Alfred Tauber and of Austrian mathematicians such as Olga Taussky-Todd and Richard von Mises, who emigrated from other countries, is also discussed. The catalogue includes references to the literature and sources as well.
