Still hoping for a musical career he also studied piano at the Conservatoire Royale de Bruxelles, where he met accomplished musicians two and three years younger than him, which convinced him that chemistry was the right career choice.
Home for summer vacation in 1939, he was prevented from returning to Brussels by illness. In September the Nazis invaded Poland starting World War Two, so it can be said that his life was saved by typhoid fever. Early in 1940 his family moved to Palestine where he witnessed the birth of a nation. He lived in Israel doing chemical research, which he continued when he moved to the US in 1955.
He started writing as a hobby, but made it his profession after retiring from his chemical career. He already has three books in print.vizualizați mai puține
