Regardless of position, role played during the first World War, or wealth, there was no protection for the Jews after their

Fields of science, such as chemistry, bacteriology, and microbiology are now well known and studied throughout the world; however, the same could not be said back in the Nineteenth century. One of the brave pioneers of these then little known fields of science was Louis Pasteur. He made great contributions each and paved the way for future discovery. His inventions and theories he made throughout his life gave people around the globe a better understanding of the world around them. Because of Louis
