Biography
Tauber was born in Vienna. He emigrated to the United States of America as a child in 1933. He studied at Harvard University, graduating with a PhD. in 1951. He taught as a lecturer at the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York since 1953 and as a professor at Williams College since 1960.[1]
A noted marxist academic,[2] Tauber was granted a fellowship by the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) in 1964. He was also awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1968.
Tauber's two-volume book (Beyond Eagle and Swastika) on right-wing extremism in the Federal Republic of Germany, which has not yet been translated into German, is a critical study rich in material. It was reviewed in many leading journals when it appeared and is still considered a landmark research achievement today.
