He was not expelled from the university under the race laws but dismissed even earlier, when he went into hiding to avoid taking part in the war in East Africa. At the age of nearly 80, this very active geographer and climatologist at UWA published an article, Thoughts and views from my life , a life spent mostly in Australia, where he had sought refuge in 1939. He wished to give notice to his readers that his memoirs were «not dramatic, emotional or controversial». They were indeed packed with silences, to avoid taking issue with academic circles and the group to whom h e was bound by family ties.
