Leopoldina

The Leopoldina memorial stele erected in 2009 in memory of members of the academy who were murdered in the Nazi concentration camps or who died from the inhuman and cruel conditions of imprisonment in the camp does not recall Karl Bornstein. The reason why Karl Bornstein was not taken into account was probably the assumption previously published by various authors that Bornstein had died in 1935.
