context_page_description: Alice Salomon was a German social reformer and pioneer of social work as an academic discipline. Her role was so important to German social work that the Deutsche Bundespost issued a commemorative postage stamp about her in 1989. A university, a park and a square in Berlin are all named after her.
context_section_description: In 1933 when they acceded to power, the Nazi party stripped her of all her offices and six years later, when she was 65, she faced interrogation by the Gestapo.  The Nazis objected to Salomon's Jewish origins, her Christian humanist ideas, her pacifism and international reputation.  She was expelled from Germany, where she had been running a relief committee for Jewish emigrants.
  She went to New York, her German citizenship and her two doctorates having been taken from her.  In 1944 she became an American citizen.  A year later, she was honorary President of the International Women's Federation and the International Association of Schools of Social Work.
  She died in New York.
