It was once the "politically safe" thing to give up jewish people to the nazi authorities.

From Wikipedia

According to a German professor of the history of mathematics, "There is no doubt that most of the German mathematicians who were members of the professional organization collaborated with the Nazis, and did nothing to save or help their Jewish colleagues."[72]

So yes, institutions did the "politically safe" thing and discriminated against jewish people.
