ALBERT
EINSTEIN
Albert
Einstein was born as the first child of the Jewish couple Hermann and Pauline
Einstein, nee Koch, in Ulm on March 14, 1879. When Albert’s grandmother saw him
for the first time she is said to have cried continuously: "Much too
thick! Much too thick!" But despite all fear the development of young
Albert was a normal one. In November 1881 Albert’s sister Maria – called Maja –
was born.
A short time
later the Einstein family went to Munich where Albert first attended elementary
school and subsequently Luitpold grammar school. He was an "average"
pupil but already very early interested in science and mathematics. He did not
like lessons in grammar school as they were held with strict discipline and as
he was forced to learn. When he turned 15 he left school without any degree and
followed his family to Milan. To make up for the missed degree he attended
school in Aarau (Switzerland) from 1895 to 1896 when he successfully took his
A-levels and began to study in Zurich. His ambition was to obtain the diploma
of a subject teacher for mathematics and physics. He successfully finished his
studies in July 1900.
He moved to
Bern and was given work at the Patent Office. In his leisure time he worked in
the area of theoretical physics. In 1905 he published several of his important
scientific works. One of them deals with the ground-breaking special theory of
relativity. Another work contains the most famous formula of the world "E
= m · c2". This formula states that matter can be converted into energy.
In 1903 he married
his college mate Mileva Maric. One year later Einstein’s first son, Hans
Albert, was born and his second son Eduard followed in 1910. In 1909 he became
professor for theoretical physics at the University of Zurich. After that time
he was given a professorship in Prague and then again in Zurich. In 1914
Einstein was called to Berlin to work there scientifically. In the same year World War I broke
out.
After Einstein
had separated from his wife Mileva he married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal in
1919. From 1909 to 1916 Albert Einstein worked on a generalisation of the
special theory of relativity, the general theory of relativity. After this
theory was proven right in an experiment in 1919 (deflection of light by the
sun’s gravitational field) Einstein became famous over night. He received
invitations and honours from all over the world. There was hardly any magazine
which did not report about him and praise his work to the skies. For the year
1921 he received the Nobel Prize for Physics.
Through the
political situation in Nazi Germany Einstein left the country in December 1932
and never again entered German ground. From 1933 Einstein and his family lived
in Princeton, USA. At the "Institute for Advanced Study" he found
ideal working conditions. In December 1936 Einstein’s wife Elsa died. In 1939
World War II broke out. Because of his fear that Germany was working on atomic
bombs he wrote a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president of the United
States of America, to tell him about the possibility of atomic weapons. In 1946
he proposed a world government in which he saw the only way to achieve
continuous peace.
Einstein spent
the last years of his life reclusively in Princeton. Until his last breath he
worked on a new theory, the unified field theory, which however was not
successful. Albert
Einstein died on April 18, 1955. He was 76 years old.
NELSON MANDELA
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on
July 18, 1918. His father was Hendry Mphakanyiswa of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela
himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of
Witwatersrand where he studied law. He joined the African National Congress in
1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party's
apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and
was acquitted in 1961.
After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela's campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.

From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.
During his years in
prison, Nelson Mandela's reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as
the most significant black leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of
resistance as the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He consistently
refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom.
Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organisation's National Chairperson
