Willsttter writes only briefly about the tragic early deaths of his beloved wife and of his young son, but describes in detail his work as a leading organic chemist tackling difficult problems in plant pigments, chlorophyll, enzymes and more (in Zurich, Berlin and Munich where he succeeded his mentor) and his training of dozens of young chemists. In 1924, he resigned from the University of Munich in face of increasing antisemitism. The book offers candid portraits of major fellow chemists, including Willsttters close friendFritz Haber, also a Nobel prize laureate, and describes life in German research universities before the Nazis persecution of Jewish scholars decimated them. </p><p>The book goes far beyond a chronicle of events in Willsttters life; it is a valuable contribution to the history of chemistry... Nature </p><p>Willsttters story is a reflection of the glory and the tragedy that is modern German history... These memoirs, which are truly an inside story of German chemical scholarship, are filled with delightful personal reminiscences and interesting anecdotes about the great chemists Willsttter was associated with during the course of his remarkable career. David H. Kenny,Journal of Chemical Education </p><p>This autobiography is one of the outstanding books printed in Germany in recent years and it provides an insight into the thinking and working methods of a great scientist... The Chemist </p><p>Great scientists are rare, but great writers among them are almost unique. Willsttters autobiography, published posthumously and edited by his former student, Arthur Stoll, is an extremely moving book... This wonderful book... could, with profit, be made adjunct reading in an advanced organic chemistry course. Record of Chemical Progress </p><p>Willsttters knowledge of chemistry and chemical problems was encyclopedic, and as unlimited as the kindness he showed me... At a meeting of the Munich university senate some time in 1928 a discussion had arisen about the appointment of a mineralogist. A candidate was proposed, a front rank mineralogist by the name of Goldschmidt. As soon as the name was mentioned a murmur arose in the meeting and someone remarked:Wieder ein Jude!(another Jew). Without saying a word Willsttter rose, collected his papers and left the room. He never crossed the threshold of the university again... Although his reputation was immense, and he was a Nobel prize winner, he was modest, unassuming and retiring in character; he often reminded me of the old-time venerable type of great Jewish Rabbi. For a long time Willsttter refused to understand what was taking place in Germany... to my repeated and insistent pleas that he leave Germany and come to us in Palestine, he turned a deaf ear. He came to the opening of the Daniel Sieff Research, later Weizmann Institute in Rehovot and returned to Germany (in 1934!). He still felt that he was protected by his reputation and by the devotion of the Munich public... His last word on the subject was: I know that Germany has gone mad, but if a mother falls ill it is not a reason for her children to leave her. My home is Germany, my university, in spite of what has happened, is in Munich. I must return.
