Einstein Albert (b. 1879-04-14 / d. 1955-04-18)

He died at 1:15 AM in Princeton hospital in Princeton, New Jersey, on April 18, 1955 at the age of 76 from internal bleeding, which was caused by the rupture of an aortic aneurism, leaving the Generalized Theory of Gravitation unsolved.
An autopsy was performed on Einstein's barin. One found nothing unusual with his brain, but in 1999 further analysis by a team at McMaster University revealed that his parietal operculum region was missing and, to compensate, his inferior parietal lobe was 15% wider than normal. The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Einstein's brain also contained 73% more glial cells than the average brain.

He made brilliant studies, obtained the baccalaureate of philosophy and two certificates of license in law. As a student, he was already participating in a political activity, in particular by joining the Communist Students in 1934 during his studies at the Faculty of Law in Paris. He was also a member of the Federal Union of Students. He took part in demonstrations to defend a law professor attacked by the Croix-de-Feu and the Patriotic Youth in 1935 and 1936. He did his military service from 1936 to 1937 in Mourmelon, section of military nurses. He was mobilized from August 1939 to August 1940. He married on December 5, 1939, to Aimée Pannetier, a former student in philosophy and member of the Socialist Youth who then campaigned for the Federal Union of Students. After their marriage, they will live in Maisons-Laffitte in Seine-et-Oise. Very quickly, André Dalmas will join the underground Communist Party then the FTP. On May 31, 1942, rue de Buci in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, a revolt of a significant number of women broke out. They were exasperated by the hardships, by the endless queues, by the worry about ration tickets. Women grab goods from nearby grocery stores and distribute them. The police arrived very quickly and charged the demonstrators but run into a group of FTP. André Dalmas was responsible for protecting Madeleine Marzin. Arrests were made made. Among them, André Dalmas, Madeleine Marzin, a steelworker Edgar Lefébure, and students. The judgment by the Special Section of the State Court was expeditious. No recourse, officially appointed lawyers defended them by presenting them as lost. The next day, Edgar Lefébure and André Dalmas were guillotined on July 25, 1942 in the courtyard of La prison de la Santé. The name of André Dalmas appears on the stele of the PTT Telegraph Center at 103, rue de Grenelle. In 2005, the building having been sold, this stele was removed and reinstalled in one of the France Telecom-Orange halls, 6 place d´Alleray in the 15th arrondissement. The management of this company has left this place. Madeleine Marzin, born July 21, 1908 in Loudéac, died May 27, 1998 in Paris. She joined the Resistance very early on, participating in the constitution of the National University Front. She and other women lead the demonstration in rue de Buci. At the mock trial, she was sentenced to death, a sentence commuted to hard labor. During her transfer to Rennes prison she managed to escape. She became Municipal councilor of Paris, elected Member of the Communist list in 1951, then re-elected in 1956.
