To remember Alfred Nobel...
Alfred Nobel, a chemist and entrepreneur who invented dynamite, gets to know his obituary in the newspaper one day. When Alfred Nobel's brother, Ludwig Nobel, died, he made a false report in a French media outlet. It turned out right away that the article was misrepresented, but this happening leaves a slightly different message for Nobel. Nobel makes a lot of money from dynamite, making him Europe's richest man. But dynamite was used in the war and killed countless people. The wrong obituary article gives Nobel a chance to look back on his life. Before he dies, he leaves a will asking 94 percent of his total assets, or 31 million kronas, to be used to enact the Nobel Prize. Now we don't remember him as a 'death merchant' anymore. I remember him as the founder of the Noble Prize, the most prestigious and honored prize.
