Description   When Nazis invaded his hometown of Vienna just months before World War II, the adventures of this chemist-collector began--he was 14 years old and fleeing to England with one small suitcase, one dollar, and his stamp collection. Then, two years later, he was interned with other Jewish refugees and sent to a Canadian prisoner-of-war camp. Behind barbed wire he began his education in chemistry, which would later earn him a scholarship at Queen's University and a fellowship from Harvard. Bader describes his "adventures" with honesty and humor, continuing through the founding and growth of the Aldrich Chemical Company, now Sigma-Aldrich, and his ejection from the company he started. He also tells the heartening story of his second career as an art collector and gallery owner.
