George Stefansky George Stefansky (born November 8, 1897, in Prague; died December 23, 1957, in New York City), originally Georg Stefansky, was a German-American literary scholar and sociologist of Austro-Czech Jewish descent. Life George Stefansky was a son of the Prague merchant Michael Stefansky (d. 1931) and Olga Fried (d. 1932) in Smichov [subdivision of Prague]. After passing his Abitur at the German St. Stephans-Gymnasium in Prague in 1917, he started out studying sciences at the German University of Prague but switched to philosophy and philology in 1919, and obtained his doctorate at the end of 1922. In 1926 he became associate editor of the journal Euphorion. In 1927 he received his habilitation (postdoctoral qualification for a professorship) in History of Modern German Literature in Prague and became a privatdozent (independent lecturer) there. In 1928 he transferred to the University of Berlin as Oberassistent (assistant professor). Beginning in April 1929 he was a privatdozent at the University of Münster. In December 1932 he traveled to Czechoslovakia, where he had married Dora Pick(ova) (b. 1911) in 1931, with whom he later had a daughter Kathryn (b. 1943). After the handover of power to the National Socialists, his authorization to teach at the University of Münster was withdrawn on September 7, 1933, on the basis of the Civil Service Restoration Act , and in further consequence, his editorship of the journal as well, which was renamed Dichtung und Volkstum by the National Socialist Germanists Julius Petersen and Hermann Pongs. In the ensuing years, Stefansky tried in vain to get a teaching job in Great Britain or reemployment at the German University of Prague, where anti-Semitism was on the rise. The works that he produced in this period remained unpublished, and the manuscripts for the correspondence of Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling and a planned three-volume biography of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi were lost. In 1938/1939 he held guest lectures at the University of Geneva and in 1939 he fled to the USA, while he was still being dispossessed in the German Reich[1]. In New York his first job was as a German language teacher at the City College of New York, and on the advice of Louis Wirth[2], he also earned a Master of Science degree in sociology. From 1945 on, George Stefansky taught sociology at the Graduate School of New York University. From 1943 to 1953 he worked with Keren Hajessod, a philanthropic organization that supported the immigration efforts of the Jewish Agency; and after that with the American Financial and Development Corporation for Israel.[3] The notification regarding the results of the Münster restitution proceedings, which in 1957 awarded him the legal status of ausserordentlicher Professor (nontenured professor), never reached him. In the year 2010, the University of Münster declared “that the dismissals of the following members and affiliates of the University that occurred in the years 1933 to 1945 for ‘racial’ and political reasons are null and void,” and Georg Stefansky is among those listed.[4] Endnotes (sources for specific data): 1.
