Шур, похоже, как и Тёплиц, был уже очень сильно болен на момент приезда. Вот рассказывают:
5 Palestine 1939-41 In order to emigrate Schur needed permission to leave Germany and to enter Switzerland and Palestine. After making the necessary applications (see [Schur, 13 October 1938] and [Hardy, 29 September 1938]), he went to Switzerland, where he stayed briefly with his daughter and her husband Dr Ch. Abelin in Bern. His wife joined him shortly af- terwards, and they continued their journey to Palestine, their final destination. We have been unable to establish the dates with any accuracy. In his address (Section above) Alfred Brauer decribes it as some time in January 1939. It appears, however, to have been late February 1939: see [Fraenkel, 23 February 1939] and [Weyl, 9 March 1933]. The necessary formal permission [Permission to emigrate, 24 February 1939] is clearly wC'rded to cover the possibility that Schur was then no longer in Berlin. Schur and his wife settled in Tel-Aviv, where they were helped by M. Fekete in many ways. However, it was sad for Schur that, for financial reasons, he was compelled to sell most of his mathematical library (see [Alfred Brauer, undated (1939)]), and like all of us, he was deeply depressed by the early triumphs of Hitler's armies after the outbreak of the war. Fraenkel wrote again as rector of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and invited Schur to give a lecture there, agreeing that he could speak in5 November 1939]. A. Brauer [p.l above] has related the poignant story of this lecture, during which Schur suffered a minor heart attack. Although Schur was in poor health, he continued with his creative work. Indeed, several posthumous papers are included in his Collected Works. But the hoped for improvement did not come about, and he died of a heart attack on 10 January 1941, his 66th birthday.
Ну, строго говоря, из этого текста серьёзная болезнь на момент приезда не следует. Сердечный приступ -- это как раз то, что может случиться более или менее out of the blue. А вот что ему морально было плохо, текст подтверждает. Хотя, конечно, от людей в положении Шура и Тёплица трудно ожидать крепкого здоровья, что физического, что морального.
Ну, мне просто интересно: для него действительно не нашлось работы или он уже не мог работать по состоянию здоровья. Там приводятся два письма от Френкеля (который был ректором) и все разговоры про "приходите в гости" и ни слова про трудоустройство. Так что полная неясность.
5 Palestine 1939-41
In order to emigrate Schur needed permission to leave Germany and to enter Switzerland
and Palestine. After making the necessary applications (see [Schur, 13 October 1938]
and [Hardy, 29 September 1938]), he went to Switzerland, where he stayed briefly with
his daughter and her husband Dr Ch. Abelin in Bern. His wife joined him shortly af-
terwards, and they continued their journey to Palestine, their final destination. We have
been unable to establish the dates with any accuracy. In his address (Section above)
Alfred Brauer decribes it as some time in January 1939. It appears, however, to have
