Aus Österreich emigrierte Sozialwissenschaftler. Überblick und Stand der Forschung
Abstract
The article presents an general view over the enforced migration of Austrian social scientists after 1933. The author argues that the Austrian case is a specific one: first in consequence of the two successive dictatorships, second because of the devastating consequences of the emigration movement for the Austrian scientific community and culture. Only a few of the refugees returned to Austria after 1945. Further could be demonstrated that the Austrian refugees were quickly promoted in the scientific world of their exile countries, by way of comparison — especially in the United States.
... The Austrian history of the disenfranchisement, persecution, and expulsion of people in professional fields with ties to social work has already been studied extensively. There is work on persecuted medical doctors (Reiter-Zatloukal, Sauer, 2021), social scientists (Fleck, 1994), psychoanalysts (Fallend, 2016), and individual psychologists (Kenner, 2007). In addition, there is a good number of studies that deal with professional networks of women at the time, be it in regard to the Settlement Movement in Ottakring (Malleier, 2005), the Archbishop's Aid Office for Non-Aryan Catholics (Menzel, 2014), or the after-school caretakers of the Schönbrunn school (Bindel, Böhmer-Zechmeister, Zwacek, 1990). ...
Building on a socio-historical overview of Austria in the 1930s with a special
focus on Vienna, this article shows that the history of Austria’s displaced female welfare workers has still to be told. Their life stories can be reconstructed by means of biographical research. The article focuses on how to find their traces in the archives and gives insights in an ongoing research project about the topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This paper offers a better understanding of social work practice in the Terezin ghetto, which served in 1941–1945 as a transit camp and model ghetto for not only Czech but also thousands of Jews from other Europian countries. THEORETICAL BASE: Historical sources documented a specific role and operation of the Terezin ghetto. These factors distinguished Terezin from all other Jewish European ghettos and allowed a unique social care system. METHODS: We conducted historical research using content analysis to provide a historical overview of the topic. OUTCOMES: The text provides a comprehensive view of the topic not yet described in the context of social work. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The experience of prisoners involved in social work in the Terezin ghetto may be a valuable source of inspiration and knowledge to current social workers. Gaining better insight into this period can also encourage their interest in social work history and further historical research.

OBJECTIVES: The requirements regarding professional social work are constantly increasing.
The development of a professional identity, which goes hand in hand with a comprehensive ability
to reflect, is only one of the aspects mentioned in the international definition. To this end, the
examination of the history of social work during the course of study appears to be meaningful
and important for many reasons. THEORETICAL BASE: It is precisely this topic that proves
to be particularly complex. Based on the increasing requirements on social work, another attempt
is made through analyzing social work history in an overarching framework. METHODS: As
important the topic seems to be for professional development, for students the analysis of the
history of social work is yet often a necessary evil during undergraduate studies. OUTCOMES:
Current study results clarify that students do not have a comprehensive professional identity.
SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: Using the concept of gamification for the imparting of
knowledge about the history of social work could be a “game changer”.
Outlines the intellectual styles characteristic of French, German, Japanese, and Anglo-Saxon cultures in terms of paradigm analysis, proposition production, theory formation, and intellectual commentary. Cross-cultural differences in these styles are related to factors such as the structure of the educational system and the broader society; the relative valuation of individualism and collectivism, class characteristics, language; and visions of how reality is constructed. It is concluded that cultural variety and diversity in structural positions both within and across countries will preclude the emergence of a global intellectual style.
