Slovene scientists during World War II : The life trajectories of Maks Samec, Fran Ramovš and Ljudmila Dolar Mantuani, and the impact of World War II on their careers
Željko Oset, 2019, original scientific article

Abstract: This paper discusses the impact of World War II and its aftermath on the Slovene intellectual elite within Slovene national institutions, e.g., the University of Ljubljana and the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. The focus is on the life trajectories of three prominent professors of the University of Ljubljana, among whom two were also members of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. They were selected due to their prominence, scientific field (natural sciences and humanities), and gender. Case studies can provide a better understanding of decisions, doubts, and anguish of individual scientists, while testy about the general mood among intellectuals. Everyone tried to find their way through the war and repression in different ways. Due to their position in society, the intellectuals were more protected than the general public, but even then they were under pressure to proclaim loyalty to the occupation authorities, and after a while denounce the liberation movement. After the war, their lives, connections and wartime actions were placed under the microscope by the new Communist authorities.
