Why Is Rolf Landsberg Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Rolf Landsberg was a German Professor of Physical Chemistry. Between 1961/2 and 1964 he served as rector of the Leuna-Merseburg "Carl Schorlemmer" Academy for Chemistry . Life Rolf Landsberg was the elder of two sons born to the architect Max Landsberg and his wife, the doctor Hedwig Landsberg. Theirs was a prosperous Berlin family. However, Max Landsberg, who had been diagnosed with epilepsy in 1890, died young, in 1930. Rolf began his schooling in Berlin, starting his secondary education at the Heinrich-Kleist-Gymnasium. However, in January 1933 there had been a change of government, and it became increasingly apparent that antisemitism, which had been a prominent feature of Nazi rhetoric in opposition, was entering the political mainstream. The Landsbergs were Jewish. In 1934 Rolf Landsberg was sent to school in England, where he attended the progressive St Christopher School in Letchworth, to the north of London between 1934 and 1937. Sources differ as to whether his mother and brother accompanied him to England at this stage, but by 1939 all three had emigrated to Britain. He went on to study at University College London, emerging with a Chemistry degree in 1940. In Britain he later also studied at Aberystwyth, but his academic progress was not uninterrupted.
