The scientist Traugott Fuchs left Nazi Germany in 1934 and found refuge in Turkey. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he remained in his new home after the war’s end, teaching at universities for over fifty years and leaving behind a rich legacy of linguistic works, thousands of sketches and around 400 paintings as well as scores of letters and diaries.
