Michael Danos was born in Latvia in 1922, the son of a Hungarian opera singer stranded in that country by the outbreak of World War I. He studied electrical engineering and physics in Riga, Latvia and Dresden, Germany, surviving the 1945 Allied firebombing of Dresden. After the conclusion of World War II he lived in a displaced persons camp in Hanover, and it was while living there that he completed his degrees in electrical engineering and physics. After immigrating to ...
