No famous Alsatians?
As Wikipedia will swiftly reveal to you, there really are very few famous Alsatians. There are more if you include people who studied or taught or otherwise lived in Alsace at one point in their lives, though. It's just Alsatians by birth who are generally not famous.
Um, is that picture permanent?
Maybe.
