Albert Schweitzer, a renowned scientist, doctor, philosopher, theologian, author, musician, and Nobel Peace Prize winner, is celebrated for his humanitarian work in Africa. However, Schweitzer's legacy is controversial due to his paternalistic views and silence on the Holocaust. Despite being aware of the persecution of Jews, he never condemned Nazi atrocities. Schweitzer's silence during this time has been criticized by many researchers. Nonetheless, he is still remembered for his contributions in saving lives and his peace activism, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.
