I am a direct descendant of Louis and Carrie Bamberger's brother Edgar. I wanted to thank you for the article and the story is very much as I've heard it with many details filled in. The only detail I notice omitted is the name of Princeton University. Isn't that where the Institute of Advanced Study housed?
My father Lee Leopold was an archivist for the Federation of Jewish Agencies in Philadelphia. He had a great love for Jewish history in the Philadelphia area and I remember when the Institute for Advanced Study celebrated it's 50th anniversary and invited my father's family to attend. He was very much proud of his (multiple) great uncle and aunt's contributions to philanthropy. My father passed away many years ago and I thought of him when I read this article. He would have liked it very much for it's accuracy.
