American Jewish Recipients of the Nobel Prize:
Introduction
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born on October 21, 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden. He was a chemist, engineer and industrialist. He invented dynamite and more powerful explosives.
He died on December 10, 1896, leaving the bulk of his estate to the Alfred Nobel Foundation. The Foundation announces the winners of the Nobel Prize every year on the date he died.
There are six categories of Awards: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Nobel Prize in Physics, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Peace Prize, Nobel Prize in Economics and the Nobel Prize in Literature.
This exhibit publicizes the great number of American Jews who have received this prestigious award and of their contributions to the United States of America and humanity.
