Uczony wobec Trzeciej Rzeszy. Hans-Albrecht Fischer – profesor rzymskiego i niemieckiego prawa cywilnego na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim
An academic in the face of the Third Reich. Hans-Albrecht Fischer – Professor of Roman and German civil law at the University of Wrocław

Summary/Abstract: Hans-Albrecht Fischer was a professor of philosophy, Roman law, and German civil law. He had the luck and opportunity to meet the most eminent academics of his days on the path of his life. Some, including Karl Larenz and Julius Binder, destroyed their reputation after 1933 as partisans of the new system. Fischer did not follow that road, nor did he emigrate after 1933, thus choosing the most difficult of the potential roads, that of the socalled internal exile, like one of the most eminent writers of the time, Ernst Wichert. The years of the Third Reich were the time of avoiding and generalising. Ever more intensely suspected by the Nazis, Hans-Albrecht Fischer kept his employment for quite a simple reason, namely, all experts in the field left Germany in the beginning of the Third Reich, and there was no one to lecture civil law (as Roman had been stricken from the curriculum).
