Born into a Jewish family,[1] Strassmann refused to leave Nazi Germany, and he was eventually detained and deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1943. On October 23, 1944, he was deported from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was murdered soon after.[2]
He was the son of the forensic pathologist Fritz Strassmann.

gollark: guys, what if lemmmy *is* yemmel?
gollark: Once PotatOS for x86 is installed on Terra's server, it will use my arbitrary code execution exploit in *string theory* to teleport the server to my house, where it will then run Minecraft for me.
gollark: "I'm bad, but other people are worse! Ignore me and complain at them!"
gollark: Soon the dead-man's switch in the bunker will trigger and disassemble Terra's bunker, then most of itself, then use an arbitrary code execution exploit in Minecraft to install PotatOS for x86 on all Terra's devices, then it will crash TC2020 forever.
gollark: I built a bunker there and everything. Well, half a bunker. I haven't finished the self-replication systems.
