I just found an article concerning Einstein's Brain, a documentary I wrote about some time back, in German. I know German well enough to read and understand it, but I'm by no means an expert, so I wondered if anybody here could tell me if the article concludes whether the documentary (http://www.encyclopedia-obscura.com/moviesebrain.html) is a hoax or not. From what I understand, it would appear that Hagner confirms that Sugimoto is real enough.

Any translations of important parts are appreciated.

Ha, I always used the word "Hern" to refer to the brain. I find "Denkorgan" hilarious, I'd never seen it called that before.

Literally, it's "thinking-organ". :)

I don't speak german, but I've been doing buckets of Einstein study lately, and I'm told the documentary is not a hoax.

I think that's what the conclusion in the article is as well. Thanks.
