My life with affinity

Abstract

I was born in 1935 in Warsaw, Poland, to a rabbinical family. My early childhood occurred during World War II in German-occupied Poland and then in Russia. My father was killed in the concentration camp of Flossenberg; my mother, my sister and I survived and emigrated from Germany to Israel in 1949. In Israel I finished my primary school and high school. I completed my B.Sc. in chemistry and physics at Bar-Ilan University and my Ph.D. in biochemistry at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
