Death

On January 7, 1943, in room No. 3327 on the 33rd floor of the Newyorker Hotel in New York, at about 22.30 the life of Nikola Tesla came to an end.

Speaking about him, Ola Guardia, Mayor of New York, said: “Nikola Tesla has died. He died poor, but he was one of the most useful men that ever lived. What he created is great, and as time goes on it grows ever greater.”

Tesla was born in the 19th century, he died in the 20th century, but many believe that it is the 21st century that belongs to him.
