Leonard Mlodinow

Долго пытался узнать, как же произносится фамилия физика Леонарда Млодинова, того который написал книжку с Хокингом. МлОдинов или МлодИнов? Попался американский ролик, где её произносят. МлодАЙнов. Shit...
Еврей, кстати.

I was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1954. Both of my parents were holocaust survivors. My father was a leader in the Jewish underground in Czestochowa, Poland, until he was shipped to the Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944. He was liberated by General Patton on April 11, 1945. At the time, he weighed 80 pounds. My mother was in a labor camp, also in Poland. They met in Brooklyn, New York, in 1948.
