Gumbel was a German statistician known for his political activism and pacifism. His work on extreme values and the Gumbel distribution named in his honor continue to be influential in many fields today. Combining his statistical knowledge and political advocacy, he published the book “Vier Jahre politischer Mord (Four years of political murder)” in 1922, showing the judiciary system of the Weimar Republic to be heavily biased in favor of right-wing extremists.
His continued outspoken engagement against fascism led to him being forced out of his tenure at the University of Heidelberg in 1932 after the “Gumbel riots” instigated by the National Socialist German Student League. After Jewish-born Gumbel moved to Paris with his family, his works were subject to Nazi book burnings. In 1940 he escaped the German invasion by fleeing to the US, where he received a professorship at Columbia University in 1953.
Gumbel’s legacy was honored with a Stolperstein, a plaque commemorating the victims of Nazi persecution, in front of his home in Heidelberg in 2021.
In times of increased political division and resurgence of anti-democratic sentiment, it is ever more important to keep the legacy of anti-fascist activists alive. At Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, we are committed to the values of democracy and respectful coexistence. We are against exclusion and hatred.
The exhibition will be open from xx-xx. We’re looking forward to sharing this very special experience with you and encourage all conference attendees to join us at: Lichthof (Ost) / Ausstellungsraum Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Hauptgebäude, Erdgeschoss Unter den Linden 6, 10117 Berlin
