Links concerning Grothendieck's childhood, German writer and anarchist activist (1900–1957) Johanna "Hanka" Grothendieck (1900–1957) was a Germanwriter, teacher and anarchistactivist. The wife of Russian anarchist Sascha Schapiro and mother of the mathematician Alexander Grothendieck, in 1933, she fled Nazi Germany to France, where she made a living as a German teacher. During World War II, she and her son were held in a number of French internment camps; the Nazis killed her husband in the Holocaust. Johanna Grothendieck was born in the North German town of Blankenese, on 21 August 1900. Her surname, Grothendieck, comes from the Plattdütsch word for "big dike". After growing up, she moved to Berlin, where she married Alf Raddatz, with whom she had a daughter Maidi. In 1924, she met Sascha Schapiro, a veteran of the Makhnovist movement. Schapiro introduced himself to Raddatz with the words "I will steal your wife", and the two began a relationship together. Throughout the 1920s, she was involved in far-left politics and became a writer. On 28 March 1928, she gave birth to thei French mathematician (1928–2014) Alexander Grothendieck, later Alexandre Grothendieck in French (; German:[ˌalɛˈksandɐˈɡʁoːtn̩ˌdiːk]ⓘ; French:[ɡʁɔtɛndik]; 28 March 1928 – 13 November 2014), was a German-born French mathematician who became the leading figure in the creation of modern algebraic geometry.[8] His research extended the scope of the field and added elements of commutative algebra, homological algebra, sheaf theory, and category theory to its foundations, while his so-called "relative" perspective led to revolutionary advances in many areas of pure mathematics.[9] He is considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century.[10][11] Grothendieck began his productive and public career as a mathematician in 1949. In 1958, he was appointed a research professor at the Institut des hautes études scientifiques (IHÉS) and remained there until 1970, when, driven by personal and political convictions, he left following a dispute over military funding.
