ABSTRACT
My wife, Earlene Craver, and I became friends of Harald’s a quarter century ago because of our common interest in the pre-war migration of economists away from Hitler and Stalin. In reading a variety of sources on the Intellectual Migration, dealing with fields from nuclear physics to classical music, I had formed the belief that the migration had been significant also in enriching American economics and in contributing to its long-lasting domination after the war. But there is one question of some importance that none of the three of us considered at the time, namely: What do migrating scientists carry with them that is not transmitted by their published works?
