2001Quotes from others about the person
"Professor Berman was always interested in both science and the humanities. He was not limited by his early work in pharmacy, he explored literature, history, music, and the theater. His personal library contained many valuable books and prints from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, which he had discovered in Paris and London. He was keenly concerned with promising students in his courses, and he served as a kindly mentor to them." - Hortense Berman, Alex's widow
Alex was married to Hortense Behr.
