Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ernst David Bergmann (Hebrew: ) (born: 1903; died: 1975) was an Israeli nuclear scientist and chemist. He is often considered the father of the Israeli nuclear program. Bergmann was born in Germany and son of a rabbi, Judah Bergmann. He studied at the University of Berlin under Wilhelm Schlenk, where he received his Ph. D. in 1927. Bergmann continued to work at the university, and with Schlenk, wrote Ausführliches Lehrbuch der Organischen Chemie, which was published in two volumes 1932 and later in 1939; however, the fact that Bergmann was Jewish caused his name to be removed from the title page of the 1939 edition. Bergmann left for London in 1933 soon after the Nazis came to power, and began work with chemist and Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann. He turned down an offer of a position at Oxford from Sir Robert Robinson, an event that Sir Robinson recalled years later with anger. Bergmann left Europe less than a year later, and arrived in Palestine on January 1, 1934, to work at the Daniel Sieff Research Institute.
