The Nobel Prize | |
---|---|
Description | Outstanding contributions in Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace, and Physiology or Medicine. The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, identified with the Nobel Prize, is awarded for outstanding contributions in Economics. |
Country | Sweden, (Norway) |
Presented by | Swedish Academy Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Karolinska Institutet Norwegian Nobel Committee |
First awarded | 1901 |
Website | http://nobelprize.org |
This is a list of Nobel Laureates of Jewish descent. Since 1901, Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 802 individuals, of whom at least 162 (20%) were scientists, doctors, writers, economists, poets, etc. of Jewish ethnicity, from 23 countries.The above figure slightly varies depending on the eternal question Who is a Jew?.
Some laureates are Holocaust survivors. Elie Wiesel is the author of 57 books, the best known of which is Night, a work based on his experiences as a prisoner in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps..
The oldest ever Nobel Laureate was Leonid Hurwicz. He received the prize in Economic Sciences for 2007, when he was 90 years old.Cite error: The <ref>
tag has too many names (see the help page). A Polish Jew his family and he experienced persecution by both the Bolsheviks and Nazis.
Ever since establishing of Nobel Prize only four Laureates have been forced by authorities to decline the honor. Three of them were Germans, who were prohibited from accepting the prize by Adolf Hitler in 1938 and in 1939. The fourth one was Boris Pasternak. He was born into a wealthy Russian-Jewish family.Pasternak was named the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958. On 25 October, two days after hearing that he had won, Pasternak sent the following telegram to the Swedish Academy:
Immensely thankful, touched, proud, astonished, abashed.
However, four days later came another telegram:
Considering the meaning this award has been given in the society to which I belong, I must refuse it. Please do not take offense at my voluntary rejection.
The Swedish Academy announced:
This refusal, of course, in no way alters the validity of the award. There remains only for the Academy, however, to announce with regret that the presentation of the Prize cannot take place.
Pasternak had declined under intense pressure from Soviet authorities.
The Nobel Prize is an annual, international award originating in Sweden. The award was established in 1895 by the Swedish chemist and inventor of dynamite Alfred Bernhard Nobel. It was first awarded in 1901 for achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. An associated prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was instituted by Sweden's central bank in 1968 and first awarded in 1969. Although the Nobel Prize in Economics is not technically a Nobel Prize, its winners are announced with the Nobel Prize recipients and it is presented at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony. The Nobel Prizes in the specific disciplines (physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and literature) and the Prize in Economics are widely regarded as the most prestigious award one can receive in those fields.
A recipient of the Nobel Prize (called a laureate) earns a gold medal, a diploma bearing a citation and a sum of money. The amount of money awarded depends on the income of the Nobel Foundation that year. In 2009, the amount was 10 million SEK (US$1.4 million) per prize. If a prize is awarded to more than one laureate, the money is either split evenly among them or, for three laureates, it may be divided into a half and two quarters.

Each Nobel Prize consists of a gold medal, a diploma bearing a citation, and a sum of money, the amount of which depends on the income of the Nobel Foundation. (A sum of $1,300,000 accompanied each prize in 2005.) A Nobel Prize is either given entirely to one person, divided equally between two persons, or shared by three persons. In the latter case, each of the three persons can receive a one-third share of the prize or two together can receive a one-half share.
