Abstract

It would be very interesting indeed to find out what happened to all scientists gathered from 1933 to 1937 at the Ukrainian Physics Technical Institute in Kharkov. The information available, however, is fragmentary and therefore it is difficult to reconstruct a picture as complete as it would be desirable.
