Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser
Neisser was born in the Silesian town of Schweidnitz (now Świdnica, in Poland), the son of a well-known Jewish physician, Dr. Moritz Neisser. After he completed the elementary school in Münsterberg, Neisser enrolled in the St. Maria Magdalena School in Breslau (now Wrocław, in Poland). In this school, he was a contemporary of another great name in the history of medicine, Paul Ehrlich. He obtained the Abitur in 1872.
Albert Pulitzer
Albert was born, like his brother, in Makó, Hungary. He emigrated to the United States when he was 16, and started work as a German teacher at Leavenworth High School in Kansas. After two years, he started working for an Illinois newspaper. He moved to New York City in 1871 and worked at the "New York Sun" and "New York Herald", until founding the "Journal". He wrote "The Romance of Prince Eugene. An idyll of the Time of Napoleon 1." (2 Volumes, Dodd, Mead, NY 1895.)
Suffering from neurasthenia, Albert committed suicide in Vienna (he had moved to Europe after he sold the "Journal") on October 3, 1909. His son, Walter Pulitzer, who was an author and magazine publisher, died in 1926.
