Truly enlightening.
From starving in the streets, to Dachau, to a Nobel Prize.

Hi Dave,
I understand from reading the Wiki article that no he (Mario Capecchi) but his mother was sent to Dachau concentration camp and he was staying with a peasant family until the money his mother provided for his care was exhausted and they couldn't provide care for him and he ended up on the streets at four and a half years old.
Never the less a great story !
With friendly greetings,
Eric Goedhart
