In 1919 Olga arrived at the then high school of commerce and remained there for 28 years before as an assistant and from 1934 as a german reader. After being dispensed from the service, in fact, the reader continued her work in a voluntary but paid way, until August 1939 when the racist laws came to wipe out any further possibility of collaboration. In that month the professor was forced to fill out the personal card and was removed from teaching and disappeared from the life of the university. In addition to being definitively removed from the university, Olga was also dismissed from the Ateneo Veneto of which she was a member. From that moment on, he could only retire to private life, trying to keep himself busy and making himself available by teaching at the newborn Jewish school in Venice. The important network of relationships and protections, however, was not enough to save the professor, who was arrested in 1944.
Blumenthal, Olga (1873 – 1945)
