Kurt Von Schuschnigg was a professor at St. Louis University when I attended. I recall him as distinguished, self-possessed and modest, yet surrounded by an aura of tragedy, as someone whom had been bull-dozed by fate but had retained his honor throughout.
Bull-dozed is right. From Wikipedia:
"Schuschnigg attempted to regain control of the situation by arranging for a plebiscite to be held on 13 March. However, this move was undermined when the Wehrmacht invaded two days before the plebiscite was due to take place. Schuschnigg resigned, was imprisoned by the Nazis, and only freed by American troops in 1945. After his arrest Schuschnigg was incarcerated in a tiny room for seventeen months while the SS tormented him both mentally and physically. After losing 85 pounds, he spent the remainder of the war in two different concentration camps, Dachau and Sachsenhausen, all accounted for in his book Austrian Requiem.
"After World War II, Schuschnigg emigrated to the United States, where he worked as a professor of political science at Saint Louis University from 1948 to 1967."
