“…National Socialist legislation led to continually increasing discrimination and segregation of Jewish physicians 2 . Decisions regarding racial affiliation did not depend upon the actual religious denomination of the individual but upon the family religion two and three generations before, and many Germans rediscovered their Jewish ancestry in this process.…”

In the context of our investigation, we found information on 432 (76%) of the 569 Jewish dermatologists in Germany. There is evidence that 57 (10%) of the Jewish dermatologists were murdered in concentration camps, 61 (10.7%) died a natural death, 13 (2%) committed suicide, and 25 (4%) survived the Third Reich in Germany. After 1933, 276 (49%) Jewish dermatologists were able to leave Germany; the United States of America was the main destination and 107 (or 41%) emigrated there. A total of 34 (13%) Jewish dermatologists emigrated from Germany to Palestine and 16 to Latin America. Regarding emigration to other European countries, 20 of the Jewish dermatologists from Germany went to Great Britain (including Walter Freudenthal, 1893-1952, and Ernst Sklarz, 1894-1975), and 24 emigrated to other European countries, such as France (Rudolf Mayer, 1895-1962), Sweden (Carl Lennhoff, 1883-1963), and the Netherlands (Otto Schlein, 1895-1944).

“…Due to National Socialist legislation, Jewish physicians became more and more discriminated against and segregated. Milestones to be mentioned in this respect were the nationwide boycott of Jewish shops, lawyer’s offices, and doctor’s practices in 1933 and the “Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums” (Restoration of the Civil Service System Act) that eventually led to the dismissal of all Jewish physicians 2 . In the same year, the “Verordnung über die Zulassung von Ärzten zur Tätigkeit bei den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen” (Medical Licence Regulations in the Frame of Sickness Insurance Funds) was enacted and terminated non‐Aryan physicians’ employment.…”

“…The Nazis emphasized ethnicity in medicine to persecute and destroy Jewish physicians in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and the rest of Europe. 1 There may also be another theme to this drawing.

Dr Karel Fleischmann (1897-1944) was a Jewish dermatologist and noted Czech artist. During World War II, Fleischmann was confined by the Nazis in Ghetto Terezin (Theresienstadt), which was located in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. While at Terezin, Fleischmann became a leader of the ghetto's health care system and administered programs that helped to dramatically reduce the high mortality rate of the Jewish population from disease. In his spare time, Fleischmann drew works of art that portrayed the daily life and suffering of the Jews in Ghetto Terezin. Although Fleischmann perished in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, his artwork survived the war. This article pays tribute to Dr Karel Fleischmann by telling the story of his life and by citing selections from his art, poetry and prose.
