Holocaust Survivor and Physicist Josef Eisinger Talks with MS Students

Dalton Middle School students took part in a Q&A with Holocaust survivor, artist, author, and physicist Josef Eisinger on May 19. Sixth-grade parent Stella Schuhmacher, who frequently works with Holocaust survivors, organized the assembly.
An Austria native, Eisinger discussed life in Vienna, surviving the Holocaust, and his illustrious career.
 
Eisinger’s wide-range of research spans from nuclear physics and molecular biology to the history of medicine and music history. He is also a professor emeritus in the Department of Structural and Chemical Biology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, author of over 200 articles in professional journals and books, and a recipient of two Guggenheim fellowships.

Eisinger provided the students with the following advice in his closing remarks, “Stick to the facts. Be independent thinkers and learn to think critically.”
