Sergio DeBenedetti memoirs

Sergio DeBenedetti memoirs 

Sergio DeBenedetti was born in Florence, Italy and obtained his PhD in physics at the University of Florence in 1933. During the Fascist era, he worked on cosmic ray physics and received a three-year fellowship to the Curie Laboratory in Paris. He was forced to cut his stay in France short when Italy invaded Abyssinia, but returned to France when, as a Jew, the Italian Race Laws exempted him from military service. He remained in Paris until the day before the Nazis entered the city in 1940, reaching the United States by way of Lisbon.
