Abstract

Cutaneous signs play a significant role in clinical medicine. Signs have often been named after the initial observer. They may indicate either dermatologic or systemic illness and aid the examiner in diagnosis and relevant investigations. Some are specific, some have been described in other conditions, and few have lost their relevance. Most of the signs are related to the pathogenesis of the disease but the cause of some is not clear.

[In memory of our Jewish colleagues who were murdered or committed suicide during the National Socialist Era].

With this article, we commemorate our Jewish colleagues who were murdered or committed suicide during the National Socialist Era in 1933-1945. Additionally, this article should provide an impulse to create a worthy memorial place. We thereby propose to put up commemorative plaques, e.g. in front of the administrative office of the German Dermatologic Society. Fifty-six Jewish dermatologists were killed in concentration camps in the National Socialist Era; 23 died in Theresienstadt, 19 in Auschwitz, and 14 in other concentration or extermination camps. Thirteen Jewish dermatologists committed suicide.
