Biography
German Jewish mathematician known for proving in 1896 the Cantor-Schröder–Bernstein theorem, a central result in set theory, and less well known for demonstrating in 1924 the correct blood group inheritance pattern of multiple alleles at one locus through statistical analysis.
He received the message of his dismissal by the Nazis during a research/lecturing journey (started on 1 December 1932) to the United States, and he stayed there. In 1948, Bernstein retired from teaching in the USA, and returned to Europe. He mainly lived in Rome and Freiburg, occasionally visiting Göttingen, where he became professor emeritus. He died of cancer in Zurich on 3 December 1956, aged 78.
