Abstract
Hans Sachs, famous German serologist, was expelled from his native Germany in 1938 and found refuge in Ireland where he died at the end of the Second World War. The writer represents at some length his life in Germany as it shaped to a large extent the perceptions and realities of his relatively short life as an exile in Ireland. The text traces Hans Sachs's origins at the German-Polish border, his scientific career, the final failure of assimilation at the hands of Germany's anti-modernist forces and his flight to a land which he did not consider his first choice. Sachs's professional, social and personal life in Dublin reflects the general hybridity of exile in spite of the privileged position that academics like him enjoyed in their new land.
