Harry Slochower

Harry Slochower (born Hersch Zloczower; September 1, 1900 – May 11, 1991) was an Austrian-American scholar, literary critic, philosopher and psychoanalyst.

[2][3] Slochower grew up in the Bronx and studied philosophy and German at the City College of New York, graduating in 1923.

[4] He also studied at the universities of Berlin, Munich and Heidelberg, before receiving his PhD from Columbia for a book on Richard Dehmel.

The Supreme Court ruled, in 1956, that he had been "denied due process" and Slochower was reinstated and given back pay of $40,000, before being suspended again for the charge of lying before the Senate committee.

His works include Three Ways of Modern Man (1937), Thomas Mann's Joseph Story: An Interpretation (1938) and No Voice is Wholly Lost (1945).
