“…While Maxwell Wintrobe and his wife were on a 6‐month study tour of Britain and Europe in 1933, they visited Morawitz in Leipzig (Wintrobe, 1985). Wintrobe – inventor of the MCV and MCH (Spivac, 2003) – was born in Canada; his Jewish parents had come from Poland (their home town is now in the Ukraine); hence, the young couple observed with some alarm the growing political tensions in Germany. After conversing with Morawitz in German (which Wintrobe described as being halting on his part), they completed their discourse in English, in which Morawitz turned out to be quite proficient.…”

Morawitz is mainly remembered for clarifying the role of prothrombin in clotting, but his mature years saw him guide advances in transfusion therapy. He was among the first to describe haemolytic transfusion reactions and to advocate using blood anticoagulated by citrate. He was a talented organiser - founding the Leipzig Donor Centre during increasingly difficult economic and political times. An excellent general physician, his interest in clotting led to clinical work in thrombosis and angina, and the use of quinidine for cardiac dysfunction. Ironically he died of acute myocardial infarction two years after his first attack of angina and coronary thrombosis.
