Second European Meeting on Nazi Medicine

Dr. Tessa Chelouche, Co-Director of MIMEH, presented a moving and engaging lecture entitled, "Jewish Doctors and the Artwork in Terezin," at last week's Second European Meeting on Nazi Medicine held in Prague, Terezin and Dresden.  This conference brought together historians, physicians and other professionals who are researching and teaching the subject from all over Europe.  Ample time was provided for in-depth tours of historical sites that remain meaningful to the Holocaust experience.  In addition, scholars were able to connect and discuss their shared interests.  These types of meetings are essential to the future of the field because they allow for the development of relationships and projects that will ensure that the study of medicine, ethics and the Holocaust continues within the general public and the field of medicine in particular.  Thank you to the organizers, Esther Cuerda, Matthis Krischel and Michal Simunek for their time and dedication to making the 2nd European Meeting on Nazi Medicine a success.
