As exemplified by Albert Einstein, whenever and
wherever they were at liberty to share their gifts of
intellect and imagination, Jewish scientists have given
much to human advancement. Einstein and others are
among the many Jews who have enlarged and forever
changed our perceptions of time and space, and of how
the natural world works.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

b. Ulm, Germany
Physicist The greatest theoretical
physicist of the 20th Century is
also praised as one of history's
most brilliant and original scien-
tists. At age 26 he published two
landmark papers on the Brownian Movement and the
Special Theory of Relativity. A third paper dealing
with thephotoelectric effect postulated particles of
light called photons--a concept that inspired the
b Prize
quantum theory and earned him the 1921 Noel
for Physics. Six years earlier, his monumental Gen
Theory of Relativity had embroiled him in controversy
as fierce as that surrounding Charles Darwin. He fled
Hitler's rise and joined Princeton University's Institute
of Advanced Studies in 1933. Esteemed for his wit,
modesty and political integrity, he will also be long
remembered for his equation, E=MC 2 , which enabled
the atomic age. The inscription on Isaac Newton's
tombstone is an equally fitting epitaph to his memory:
"Let mortals rejoice that so great an ornament to the
human race has existed."
ALBERT MICHELSON
(1852-1931) b. Strelno, Prussia
Physicist Brought to the U.S. as
a child, he graduated from Anna-
polis in 1873, but left naval ser-
vice for scientific research. While
a University of Chicago professor,
he invited Edward Morley to conduct a joint experi-
ment that pinpointed the speed of light, a foundation
for Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. A
key finding in scientific history, the discovery was
made on an interferometer which he developed and is
still used today for measuring the wavelengths of spec-
trums. He was the first American to win a Nobel Prize
for Physics (1907).

(1879-1955)

HEINRICH HERTZ
(1857-94) b. Hamburg, Germany
Physicist "In classical times men
would have regarded the untimely
death of Hertz as due to the jealo-
usy of the gods." This tribute by
a fellow scientist, the famous
Hermann Helmholtz, salutes an achievement that led to
today's worldwide communications systems. The
notable contributor to electrical research was first to
detect and measure electromagnetic waves of large
amplitude. Wireless telegraphy, radio and television
evolved from his work, in recognition of which the
"hertz" has come to designate units of frequency.
- Saul Stadtmauer

According to Simon Dubnow, the Russian
Jewish historian, the Jews are the most historical
people on the face of the earth. His thesis is that
only civilized culture-bearing nations have a right
to be historical." The Jews have been a culture-
bearing nation longer than any other people. The
link connecting Moses with the Jews of the 20t h
Century has never been broken. For over three-
thousand years, Jews have produced great works of
law, theology, ethics, poetry and philosophy on all
subjects that affect mankind. No people have had
such an uninterrupted period of cultural creativity
as have the Jews.
