- Abstract
In 2012 the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Centre made the headlines when it became public knowledge that the jurist Rudolf Greifeld, managing director of the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK) between 1956 and 1974, was listed as honorary senator of the university. In 1975 there had been a scandal regarding Greifeld, when the former KfK employee Léon Grünbaum together with Beate and Serge Klarsfeld published an antisemitic memorandum written by Greifeld in 1941. In an unpublished manuscript Grünbaum investigated the continuities among the personnel in German nuclear research and accused Greifeld of being an unexposed Nazi criminal. The accusations were refuted repeatedly by research, which, however, was hardly noted in the public debate in Karlsruhe.
