Personal evaluations of Gustav Hertz and Richard Gans for the German university lecturers association [November 8, 1934]

There is nothing Jewish in Professor Hertz's outward appearance, behavior, and scientific activity at the Berlin Polytechnic. He is one of our few first-class German physicists, and is also a Nobel laureate.[2]He is, in addition, the nephew of the great physicist Heinrich Hertz and is thus the bearer of this famous name.[3]It would be a blunder without parallel to deny this man the right to examine students because his grandfather was a Jew.[4]I am convinced that he would not placidly accept such a personal insult but would resign from his office, leave the country, and be welcomed everywhere with open arms.[5]
