*The linked fates of Haber and Weitzmann, *presented by Bretislav Friedrich

In the early 1930s, as Nazism was gaining strength in Germany, two renowned
German-speaking Jewish scientists found themselves on converging paths:
Fritz Haber (1868–1934), one of the most influential – and controversial –
of 20th century chemists and Chaim Weizmann (1874–1952), a successful
biochemist, leader of the world Zionist movement, and future founder of the
State of Israel. In their meetings and correspondence, they reflect on the
history, current events, and fate of science and scientists, and strive to
create a place where learning and humanism would rise above racism and
hatred.

Our presenter is Bretislav Friedrich of the *Fritz-Haber-Institut der
Max-Planck-Gesellschaft,** Berlin,Germany. * His present addresses are
Harvard University Department of Physics and the Institute for Theoretical
Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, Harvard Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics.



*Below are our plans for Upcoming Meetings. For more schedule information,

We, the Lexington Computer and Technology Group, will meet Wednesday at the
usual 10AM Eastern Time, BUT ONLINE, using the Zoom Video Conferencing
Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.



Sometime after 9:45 AM on Wednesday, choose one of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972
   6146 0830

Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).

If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are using Zoom you only need
to be connected to the Internet to join.  It's ok to join from anywhere you
can get a decent Internet connection, even if you're in orbit around Earth
or on another planet or a moon (if you're connecting from somewhere not on
Earth, we'd like to chat).
