			From 1964 until the end of 1983 GL Durlacher was a lecturer in sociology at the University of Amsterdam. In 1995 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the same University

			It was not until later in life that Durlacher wrote a number of books about his experiences in the Second World War ; as a Jewish boy in Baden-Baden in the book Drenkeling and as a camp prisoner in Strepen aan de Hemel. In the last book, Durlacher sharply criticizes the Allies who did not intervene, although they knew in detail the fate of the Jews in the countries occupied by Nazi Germany.

			Durlacher died suddenly in his hometown of Haarlem in July 1996.
