Biographical Note
Marianne Landau, born in Berlin, 1886, was the daughter of Paul Ehrlich, the 1908 Nobel Prize laureate for work in chemo- and immunotherapy and developer of the drug Salvasan, instrumental in treating venereal disease. The Landau family escaped Nazi Germany and formed new homes in the U.S. and England, where they pursued academic careers. Mrs. Landau never tired in keeping alive her father's memory and legacy, and she promoted the research work of the Paul Ehrlich Institute in Frankfurt am Main. Beyond that, she doggedly pursued her and her mother-in-law's legal claims against Germany for lost property, and she attempted to find financial compensation for her and her late husband, Edmund, a well-known mathematician. Marianne Landau died in Zurich in 1964.
