Henryk Grossmann lost his Warsaw professorship in 1925 for socialist views

Evidence

Grossmann was born in 1881 in Cracow, the son of a Jewish mine-owner, and had become a student of Grünberg’s after studying law and political science in Vienna. At the end of the war, when he was compulsorily made a Polish citizen at the re-creation of the Polish state, he had to abandon his plans for a post-doctoral degree and a career in Vienna, and take up an appointment in the Central Office of Statistics in Warsaw. Eventually he became Professor of Economic History, Economic Policy and Statistics in Warsaw. But in 1925 he lost this professorship on account of his socialist views. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 109
