The long and amazing life journey of Walter Kohn ended in its 94th year on 19 April.

Walter Kohn was born in 1923 in Vienna, Austria, and during the tumultuous period of 1938-1945, lost his home, his parents, was interned in two continents, lost his chosen first career of a farmer (he wanted to be one, having seen too many intellectuals without work) and found himself set on the life path of a professional physicist, as his theoretical talents unfolded.
