Letter from [Egon] Orowan, Budapest XI., Lenke-tér 5., to Edward Neville da Costa Andrade Acknowledges Andrade's previous letter. Explains that in Summer 1933 he was forced to give up his position at the Technische Hochschule in Berlin, as he did not satisfy the racial requirements of new Germany, and has since been living with his mother in Budapest, without an income. Describes being unable to carry out any scientific work under these circumstances but that he has been in contact with fellow physicists at the Technische Hochschule who have invited him to give lectures in their institutes. Reports that obtaining equipment for experimentation is very difficult and that essential non-German literature is impossible to come by. Recounts, in detail, his recent professional history, starting with the events of 1934-1936 when he was invited by Professor Dorfman to work in the Sverdlovsk Physico-Technical Institute, which he had to decline, followed by Professor Frenkel, and later by Professor Joffé to go to Leningrad, and the associated complications and setbacks that came with these opportunities. He sought and received help from Sir William Bragg, Sir Robert Hadfield, Professor Polanyi, and Mr. Demuth, Secretary of the Notgemeinschaft Deutscher Wissenschaftler im Ausland, London. Mentions a comforting event whereby his Berlin teacher and former Chief, Professor Richard Becker, told him he was going to accept an offer of a professorship at the University of Gottingen, hopes to perform the experimental work started by his papers on plasticity, which he himself was prevented from carrying out, and hopes to make his theory better known. 13 July 1936
