Lwów School of Mathematics
The Lwów School of Mathematics was a group of mathematicians in the corresponding Polish city (now Lviv, Ukraine) who worked together, meeting particularly at the Scottish Café to discuss mathematical problems. Their journal was Studia Mathematica (founded 1929).
Many of these scholars, especially those with Jewish background, fled the city in 1941 when it became clear the German occupation of the country would extend to there. Few of them survived World War II inside the country, but a postwar group including survivors of the original group carried on their work in Wrocław.
