Have you ever heard of Karl Saller? I happened to come across his name by chance, while reading THE NAZI DOCTORS, by Dr. Robert Jay Lifton (p. 39). What I admired in this person and would like to share with you is his notable example of courage.
Dr. Karl Saller, a prominent German anthropologist,had the temerity to insist that in all races there was a continually changing gene pool a constant state of flux, and that the German race had become entwind with many others and contained extensive Slavic influences. That thesis questioned the very basis of the Nazi biomedical vision.
No less a personage than the Gestapo chief, Reinhard Heydrich, initiated an order prohibiting Saller from teaching, which forced him to leave his chair at the University of Munich. At his farewell lecture, he repeated his scientific views and stated that his love of truth and sence of honor prevented him from renouncing them.
While many anthropologists, as well as biologists and physicians must have agreed with his views, they tented to remain silent, and he found himself generally rejected and avoided by former colleagues and friends.
This is also what happened to Carl Olof Jonsson, Edward Dunlap and such others, under the regime of the GB and their such like SS men. They were forced to recant, but their love of truth prevented them from doing so. Therefore, they suffered similar consequences, stripped from their positions, rejected by their former friends and even sometimes by family members.
Unfortunately, my family and I experienced also this!!!
