List of Jewish Nobel laureates

[2][3][4][5] Jews have been awarded all six of the Nobel Foundation's awards:[3] Adolf von Baeyer, recipient of the 1905 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was Jewish on his mother's side and is considered the first Jewish awardee.

[6] Jewish laureates Elie Wiesel and Imre Kertész survived the extermination camps during the Holocaust.

[9][10][11] Still others, including Rita Levi-Montalcini, Herbert Hauptman, Robert Furchgott, Arthur Kornberg, and Jerome Karle, experienced significant antisemitism in their careers.

[10][12] Arthur Ashkin, a 96-year-old American Jew, was, at the time of his award, the oldest person to receive a Nobel Prize.

The Israeli city of Rishon LeZion has an avenue dedicated to honoring all Jewish Nobel laureates.
