| Description | The correspondence covers Jost's health and career following the Second World War.
After the war, Jost contracted tuberculosis and Simon was instrumenting in gathering foreign help to aid his plight and on paying for Jost's treatment at a sanatorium in Switzerland. An exit permit had to be obtained for Jost to travel to Switzerland from the American controlled zone of Germany.
Also contained in the files are letters discussing Simon's views on Heisenberg's involvement in Nazi Germany's atomic bomb project, pro-Nazi feeling in the University of Marburg and arrangements for Jost's trip to England in 1950. Jost later moved to the Institut fur Physikalische Chemie der Universitat, Gottingen. |
