On Wednesday, February 12, 2020, Albert Frederik Jacobs passed away after a brief illness. Albert was born April 10, 1926, in Amsterdam, the only child of Emanuel and Judith (née Kan) Jacobs. At great personal risk, several Dutch citizens helped conceal Albert from the Holocaust that took his relatives. Their generosity also enabled him to study at the University of Amsterdam, completing doctoral research in Geology (ABD, 1954).
