A man of integrity who we should remember.
It happened with Nikola Tesla too . Thomas Edison took advantage of him, and other American money hungry individualist , become very rich at the expense of geniuses that only wanted to help humanity. .
Ignacy and Tesla should both be Noble Prize Recipients!!!
