Slovene scientists during World War IIŽeljko 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.
