Why Is Dan Laksov Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Dan Laksov was a Norwegian-Swedish mathematician and human rights activist. He was primarily active within the field of algebraic geometry. Biography Laksov was born in Oslo in 1940, the same year that Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany. He was a son of Amalie Laksov and Håkon Laksov , both born 1911; the family were Jews. The ancestors on both sides had immigrated from Russia via the Baltics to Norway in the late 19th century. Håkon Laksov was a lawyer and active in the Jewish community. In the book I slik en natt. Historien om deportasjonen av jøder fra Norge by Kristian Ottosen, the escape of Amalie and Dan from Norway in November 1942 is chronicled. Håkon and Amalie's four brothers were all captured in October 1942 as a part of the arresting of all Norwegian Jews, shipped on SS Donau to Auschwitz in November 1942 and perished there sometime in early 1943. Amalie had been tipped off ahead of the next wave of arrests and managed to hide together with her young son at various addresses in Oslo before being able to flee to Sweden, where they reunited with Amalie's mother and two aunts and spent the rest of the war in Norrköping. The family's apartment was usurped by the family of a leading Young Nazi leader, Bjørn Østring, but retrieved after the war. In 1945 Dan returned to Oslo where he lived with his grandparents, while Amalie commuted to Bergen.
