In 1915 David Hilbert invited Noether to join the Göttingen mathematics department, challenging the views of some of his colleagues.
In April 1933 she received a notice from the Prussian Ministry for Sciences, Art & Public Education which read: "On the basis of paragraph 3 of the Civil Service Code, I hereby withdraw from you the right to teach at the University of Göttingen." Several of Noether's colleagues, including Max Born & Richard Courant, also had their positions revoked.
