Max Freiherr von Waldberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max Freiherr von Waldberg (1858—1938) was a professor of modern literature at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. After World War I, one of his pupils there was future Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. Nevertheless, because of his Jewish roots, von Waldberg was one of a number of Heidelberg professors forced to retire in April 1933 after the Third Reich passed a civil service law to remove faculty of "non-Aryan" descent.[1]
