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.
Effective in the treatment of a growing variety of skin conditions, photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is rising rapidly in popularity among both practitioners and patients, despite the fact that many applications are not yet cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of its versatility, safety, efficacy, cosmetic benefits, and potential financial advantages, ALA-PDT may soon be a mainstay in many clinical settings. This article provides an overview of this easy-to-use treatment modality and a guide to implementing ALA-PDT into practice, including pretreatment and post-treatment protocols and guidelines for managing side effects.
