The re-created Polish state stripped Grossmann of his intended Viennese career

Evidence

Choosing to remain in the newly reconstituted Poland after the war, Grossmann was asked to supervise the first statistical survey of its national wealth and was appointed chief of the first Polish census in 1921. In the following year he became professor of economics at Warsaw, a post he held until the Pilsudski government’s dislike of his socialism persuaded him to leave in 1925. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 125 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

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 (#expands, via linked claim)
