MEMORY

My Visit To Albert Einstein Homebirth in December 1991 at Ulm, Germany with the Late Kurt and Precy Bierbaum

Stirs up memory ... as I was privileged to visit his homebirth. The house where Einstein was born is now occupied by a community square (plaza) and a statue of his bust was erected in his honour.
