[edit] Talk:Star of David

Sorry, what I wrote probably sounded kinda cranky. My point was that there is no mention anywhere that the hexagram at the roman-era synagogue ruin at qfar nachum was used there because it was a symbol indicative of association with Judaism. Tomer ^TALK 21:54, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Max Planck

I was hoping someone would look over it as I was rather unsure on some bits, especially involving the different theses and academic posts. --Laura Scudder | Talk 20:46, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Emigration

See here:

Heisenberg, still firm in his belief that science was above politics and that anti-Semitism was a purely political issue, made no active response. However, as his colleagues in the scientific world began to lose their jobs or resign, he turned to the influential Max Planck for advice. Though the two men, separated by over forty years of age, made an unlikely team, they did everything they could to slow down the mass emigration of scientists, promoting the hope that conditions would improve soon. However, the situation only worsened and they could do little to prevent it. Heisenberg even became angry at Schrödinger for resigning from Berlin despite being non-Jewish and therefore out of harm's way. Heisenberg was apparently more concerned with the well being of German physics than any broader principles. Though Heisenberg and Planck's intentions may have been good, they were also shortsighted. The men failed to recognize that their continued support of German physics constituted an implicit acceptance of the Nazi regime.

and here:

Ein Ausscheiden aus dem Lehramt bedeutete Emigration. Heisenberg aber liebte dieses Land und: Durfte er seine Freunde in dieser Zeit im Stich lassen? Er fühlte sich für seine Studenten und jungen Wissenschaftler verantwortlich.

Two sources seem to contradict his supposed will to emigrate. On the contrary, he and Planck wanted to keep German science strong. I will remove the statement until you provide sources just to be safe. Ksenon 09:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
