Is it true that Einstein's brain was stolen by the pathologist who performed his autopsy in 1955?

Yes. A National Geographic article states that pathologist Thomas Harvey stole Einstein's brain after his death in Princeton Hospital in 1955, and reference works confirm Harvey performed the autopsy and removed the brain.
