Herman Francis Mark (1895-1992) was an Austrian chemist known for his contributions to polymer science, X-ray diffraction, and his work at IG Farben. In 1938 Mark started preparing to leave Austria. He was unable to make it out of the country before Hitler invaded Austria and was sent to a Gestapo prison. After his release, he was able to immigrate to America by first entering Canada. He continued his research in polymers in Brooklyn, New york.

Lieber Dr. Bredig!

Ich habe heute mit Brill telefoniert; er wird Herrn Dir. Mittasch fragen, ob er damit einverstanden wäre, dass Sie einige Zeit bei Brill praktizieren. Wenn ich etwas erfahre, gebe ich Ihnen gleich Nachricht.
