Was this connected to the German political situation at that time?
Yes, perhaps a family anecdote will explain the situation: my grandfather was a scientist and worked for Zeiss in Jena, where my mother was born. When his job was taken away due to the racial laws, the family fled Germany, initially to Holland, and was split up among relatives. My grandfather traveled extensively looking for jobs and corresponding with physics departments from all over the world. When it became necessary to make a decision as to where to emigrate, my grandfather called his wife long distance and said: “I have two concrete offers. Where would you like to go: to the U.S. of A. or to the USSR?” My grandmother said “USSR”, but due to the bad connection, he unders
