http://czernowitzbook.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-autobiography-of-dr-emanuel.html
Dr. Emanuel Merdinger, a brilliant chemist and American chemistry educator, was born on March 29, 1906 in Suczawa, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today in Romania; son of Josef and Rosa (Stanger) Merdinger. Emanuel Merdinger was captured and sent to Transnistria during World War II. Merdinger used his expertise in chemistry to make beer and liquor for his Nazi captors. Because of his skill, Merdinger survived for four years at the infamous camps. Came to the United States, 1947. He served several U.S. presidents as an ambassador to Romania and as a National Academy of Sciences exchange scientist to Romania, Bulgaria and the former East Germany. Dr. Merdinger was Professor Emeritus of the University of Florida until his death on December 12, 1997.
Enjoy the reading and "stay tuned" for the Book of the Month, June 2018, something special...?!
