Abstract

We describe a logical and systematic approach to unknown dermatologic disease entities that utilizes a simple algorithm which, when properly applied, expeditiously narrows the differential diagnosis and provides a key to standard reference books. We find this algorithm system to be superior to the common and often frustrating exercise of leafing through the dermatologic atlas in search of a picture that matches the presenting rash.

[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.
