Abstract
On January 2, 1946 I arrived in Copenhagen to start post-doctoral research. I was the first of the post-War crop of youngsters from abroad to start work at Niels Bohr’s Institut for teoretisk Fysik (in 1965 renamed Niels Bohr Institute). There, shortly afterwards, on the 15th, I made the first acquaintance of another young arrival from abroad1. He was Res Jost. We were of the same age, both born in 1918.
I found the dates of our arrival and departure among the documents at the Niels Bohr Archive in Copenhagen.
