Thanks for sharing with us the interesting stories of these less famous scientists. I'm wondering: Does the book also tell the stories of more famous scientists (Lisa Meitner, John Neumann, etc.)? Their scientific work is definitely not "lost", but they surely lived some time as refugees... It's also commonly agreed upon that the two specific scientists I mentioned deserved winning the Nobel Prize, but they never got it...

The soviets were a filthy dictatorship that oppressed and terrorized numerous nations and countless millions of people.

Looks like an interesting book - thanks.

This sounds like an interesting book. It is particularly relevant since in the West we are currently facing an ideology that is no less potentially destructive than Nazi-ism or Communism; Wokism.

Wokism has a lot of similarities to these other ideologies. Wokism is fundamentally antisemitic, as has recently become more clear. If you impose "equity" by force, fields in which Jews congregate like many parts of the sciences and mathematics will be decimated. This will have the exact same effect as programs under Nazi-ism and Communism.

To the woke, the only thing worse than a male is a white male, and the only thing worse than a white male is a Jewish white male, and the only thing worse than a Jewish white male is a heterosexual Jewish white male. The same is probably true of the "white adjacents" like Asians. This would be amusing, except it is deadly serious.

Maybe we are starting to wake up to the threat. I sure hope so.

The petty bureaucrats who are in control of most of our institutions and organizations and professions are desperate to carry out these ridiculous plans. We better stand up and resist.
