The statement that Schwab emigrated to the USA with his family is dubious. In an article from the German daily newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine": "Schwab, according to his memoirs published in 2021 ("Odyssey of a Child Survivor: From Latvia Through the Camps to the United States", privately published, New York), came from Latvia, grew up as the child of a German-speaking Jewish doctor who was shot by the SS Einsatzkommandos in the massacre in Liepāja after the German occupation in 1941. Schwab survived the Liepāja ghetto and several concentration camps, made his way as a street urchin in Hamburg after the war and finally reached New York in 1947, where he met the emigrants Otto Kirchheimer and Franz Neumann, who had studied under Schmitt. In this environment, Schwab tackled the first English-language presentation of Schmitt's political theory as his doctoral thesis. He later set up a foreign policy think tank with Hans Morgenthau and Henry Kissinger. ("Schwab stammt, worüber seine 2021 erschienenen Erinnerungen berichten („Odyssey of a Child Survivor: From Latvia Through the Camps to the United States“, Privatdruck, New York), aus Lettland, wuchs auf als Kind eines deutschsprachigen jüdischen Arztes, der nach der deutschen Besetzung 1941 von den Einsatzkommandos der SS beim Massaker in Liepāja erschossen wurde. Schwab überlebte das Ghetto von Liepāja, mehrere Konzentrationslager, schlug sich nach dem Krieg in Hamburg als Straßenjunge durch und erreichte schließlich 1947 New York, wo er im Studium auf die Emigranten Otto Kirchheimer und Franz Neumann traf, die bei Schmitt studiert hatten. In diesem Umfeld nahm Schwab als Doktorarbeit die erste englischsprachige Darstellung von Schmitts politischer Theorie in Angriff. Später baute er mit Hans Morgenthau und Henry Kissinger eine außenpolitische Denkfabrik auf.") https://www.faz.net/-ibq-bllen2A02:908:F17:35C0:75BC:1A8B:FCED:88AA (talk) 18:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
