Rectorship and stopped taking part in Nazi Party meetings, but remained a member of the Nazi Party until its dismantling at the end of World War II. The denazification hearings immediately after World War II led to Heideggers dismissal from Freiburg, banning him from teaching. In 1. 94. 9, after several years of investigation, the French military finally classified Heidegger as a Mitlufer1 or Nazi follower. The teaching ban was lifted in 1. Heidegger was granted emeritus status in 1. Heideggers involvement with National Socialism, his attitude towards Jews and his near total silence about the Holocaust in his writing and teaching after 1. The Black Notebooks, written between 1. After 1. 94. 5, Heidegger never published anything about the Holocaust or the extermination camps, and made one sole verbal mention of them, in 1. Heidegger never apologized for anything5 and is only known to have expressed regret once, privately, when he described his rectorship and the related political engagement as the greatest stupidity of his life die grte Dummheit seines Lebens. Whether there is a relation between Heideggers political affiliation and his philosophy is another matter of controversy. Critics, such as Gnther Anders, Jrgen Habermas, Theodor Adorno, Hans Jonas, Karl Lwith,7Pierre Bourdieu, Maurice Blanchot, Emmanuel Levinas,8Richard Rorty, Luc Ferry and Alain Renaut claim that Heideggers affiliation with the Nazi Party revealed flaws inherent in his philosophical conceptions. His supporters, such as Hannah Arendt, Otto Pggeler, Jan Patocka, Silvio Vietta, Jacques Derrida, Jean Beaufret, Jean Michel Palmier, Richard Rorty, Marcel Conche, Julian Young and Franois Fdier, see his involvement with Nazism as a personal error  a word which Arendt placed in quotation marks when referring to Heideggers Nazi era politics91. TimelineeditHeideggers rectorate at the University of FreiburgeditAdolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany on January 3. Heidegger was elected rector of the University of Freiburg on April 2. Mllendorff, who was forced to give up his position because he had refused the displaying of an anti Jewish poster, and assumed the position the following day. He joined the National Socialist German Workers Party ten days later, on May 1 significantly the international day of workers solidarity Heidegger said after the war he supported the social more than the national1. He co signed a public telegram sent by Nazi rectors to Hitler on May 2. Otto Pggeler relativizes this engagement He wasnt alone to be mystified. Toynbee too after an audience in 1. Hitler he has beautiful hands. Mein Kampf had hardly been read and absolutely not taken seriously. Roosevelt was stoked at Hitlers manners, the Times in London supported Hitlers demands, and it soon occurred in view of the new stock exchange prices that people applaud in Londons cinemas when the newsreel showed Hitlers image. In Germany, the atmosphere of those days has been described by Sebastian Haffner, who experienced it himself, as a widespread feeling of deliverance, of liberation from democracy. Rdiger Safranski explains This sense of relief at the demise of democracy was shared not only by the enemies of the republic. Most of its supporters, too, no longer credited it with the strength to master the crisis. It was as if a paralyzing weight had been lifted. Something genuinely new seemed to be beginning a peoples rule without political parties, with a leader of whom it was hoped that he would unite Germany once more internally and make her self assured externally. Hitlers Peace Speech of May 1. The London Times observed that Hitler had indeed spoken for a united Germany. Even among the Jewish population despite the boycott of Jewish businesses on April 1 and the dismissal of Jewish public employees after April 7 there was a good deal of enthusiastic support for the National revolution. Georg Picht recalls that Eugen Rosenstock Huessy, in a lecture in March 1. National Socialist revolution was an attempt by the Germans to realize Hlderlins dream. Heidegger was indeed captivated by Hitler in this first year. Jaspers noted about his last meeting with him in May 1. Its just like 1. The new rector Heidegger was sober enough to refuse like his predecessor the displaying of the anti Jewish poster he argued after the war that he joined the Party to avoid dismissal, and he forbade the planned book burning that was scheduled to take place in front of the main University building. Nevertheless, according to Victor Farias, Hugo Ott, and Emmanuel Faye, Heidegger implemented the Gleichschaltung totalitarian policy, suppressing all opposition to the government. Along with Ernst Krieck and Alfred Baeumler, Heidegger spearheaded the Conservative Revolution promoted in the beginning by the Nazis. But according to others such as Franois Fdier and Julian Young, Heidegger called for, not the subordination of the university to the state, but precisely the reverse, and did indeed seek to protect students from indoctrination by the crasser form of Nazi propaganda. Young quotes the testimony of a former student, Georg Picht The way Heidegger conceived of the revival of the university, this became clear to me on the occasion of a memorable event. To give the first lecture within the framework of political education   a compulsory measure introduced at the universities by the Nazis. Heidegger, rector at that time, invited my mothers brother in law, Viktor von Weizscker. Everyone was puzzled, because it was well known that Weizscker was no Nazi. But Heideggers word was law. The student he had chosen to lead the philosophy department thought he should pronounce introductory words on national socialist revolution. Heidegger soon manifested signs of impatience, then he shouted with a loud voice that irritation strained this jabber will stop immediately Totally prostrated, the student disappeared from the tribune. He had to resign from office. As for Victor von Weizscker, he gave a perfect lecture on his philosophy of medicine, in which national socialism was not once mentioned, but far rather Sigmund Freud. Picht recalls his uncle Weizscker told him afterwards about Heideggers political engagement Im pretty sure its a misunderstanding  such a thing happens often in history of philosophy. But Heidegger is a step ahead he perceives something is going on that the others dont. Heideggers tenure as rector was fraught with difficulties. He was in conflict with Nazi students, intellectuals, and bureaucrats. Philosophical historian Hans Sluga wrote Though as rector he prevented students from displaying an anti Semitic poster at the entrance to the university and from holding a book burning, he kept in close contact with the Nazi student leaders and clearly signaled to them his sympathy with their activism. Some National Socialist education officials viewed also him as a rival, while others saw his efforts as comical. His most risible initiative was the creation of a Wissenschaftslager or Scholars camp, seriously described by Rockmore as a reeducation camp, but by Safranski as rather a mixture of scout camp and Platonic academy, actually to build campfires, share food, have conversation, sing along with guitar. Cub Scout age. Safranski tells how a dispute occurred with a group of SA students and their military spirit. Some of Heideggers fellow National Socialists also ridiculed his philosophical writings as gibberish. He finally offered his resignation on April 2. April 2. 7. Heidegger remained a member of both the academic faculty and of the Nazi Party until the end of the war, but took no part in Party meetings.
