FAQ About Fritz Haber

As the Nazi regime rose to power in Germany in the 1930s, Fritz Haber, being of Jewish descent, faced increasing discrimination despite his prior contributions to German science. In 1933, as anti-Semitic policies began to be enforced, he was forced to leave his post at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. He emigrated to Switzerland, where he spent the last year of his life in exile, passing away in 1934. This forced departure highlighted the regime's intolerance and the displacement of many intellectuals during that period.
