Fritz Richard Stern (1926- ) is an American historian of German history, Jewish history, and historiography. The focus of much of his work is attempting to track the development of the rise of National Socialism in Germany and its charecteristics. Another major area of research for Stern has been the history of the Jewish community in Germany and how the Jewish culture influenced German culture and vice-versa. In Stern’s view, this interaction produced what Stern has often called the “Jewish-German symbiosis”. In Stern’s view, the best example of the “Jewish-German symbiosis” was Albert Einstein. 1926 (MCMXXVI) was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ...
