Description

Flight and Refuge. Reminiscences of A Motley Youth by Josef Eisinger After a calm, middle-class childhood in Vienna, the author escapes, at fifteen, from Nazi-occupied Austria to Britain. He finds work as a farm 'lad' in Yorkshire, and then, as a dish washer in a Brighton hotel. Following the fall of France, he is interned as an enemy alien and is shipped to Canada. Confined in a series of internment camps, he acquires new skills as lumberjack and carpenter, and is also able to resume his interrupted education thanks to an informal school run by fellow inmates, like himself, mostly Jewish refugees. Thanks to a benevolent sponsor he is released from internment and enrolls in the mathematics and physics honors course at the University of Toronto. He joins the Canadian Army, and after the war ends, he completes his undergraduate studies. Wishing to visit his parents - they had found refuge in Palestine following a harrowing escape from Vienna - he joins the crew of a freighter bound for the Mediterranean as an ordinary seaman. Following his return, he wins a teaching fellowship at MIT and earns his PhD degree for an investigation of the internal structure of nuclei. He enters a richly varied research career in physics, molecular biology, and the history of science, settles down, and creates a family. Four appendices deal with the authors' roots, his parents' escape, and his life in science. *** Josef Eisinger, professor emeritus at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, is the author of more than 150 articles in professional journals. His recent books, Einstein on the Road and Einstein at Home were published by Prometheus Books (2011, 2016).
