Here in Germany it is not uncommon to come across forgotten names of great mathematicians and scientists who 'faded away' during Germany's Nazi regime. Felix Hausdorff is one of these greats with an Institute for mathematics named after him in Bonn (former capitol of Germany after the war and near Aachen). I hope to visit the Institute for a workshop this summer.
