Victor (Viki) Frederick Weisskopf on the Nazi Terror in a 1932 Berlin, Germany: The History of Physics Series ------------ Institute for Advanced Physics Studies, Stefan University; The HISTORY of PHYSICS Series. V. Alexander Stefan talks with Viki Weisskopf: June 17, 1992, La Jolla, California, USA. -------------------- In 1932, Viki had been in Berlin, Germany, as a physics-assistant to Erwin Schroedinger, just before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. As seen on the video, the Nazi terror was still, (1992), deeply in his memory. --------------- Victor Frederick Weissskopf, (1908-2002), a Jewish born American physicist, is considered one of the true luminaries of the 20th century physics. Weisskopf was a physics-assistant to Schroedinger in Berlin in 1932. --------------- Erwin Schroedinger, (1887-1961), a Nobel Prize-winning, (1933), Austrian physicist made fundamental contributions to quantum theory by formulating the wave equation referred to as the Schroendiger equation.
