Charles from the author Karl Loewenstein 1/26/48" Karl Loewenstein: Exile in the United States After the Nazi Party seized power in 1933 Loewenstein immigrated to the United States and worked for two years at Yale University as a lecturer in politics. In 1936 Loewenstein became chair of political science and jurisprudence at Amherst College. Soon after, the work-obsessed Loewenstein received American citizenship, was called to the bar in Massachusetts and began publishing extensively on European and South American fascist movements. Loewenstein remained emotionally connected to his German homeland and the Nazi rise to power filled him with great sorrow.[2] He published an academic review of how the Nazis parasitized the German Civil Code in the three years since taking power.
