Commemorative plaque on the occasion of the 50th DDG conference
On the occasion of the 50th DDG conference in Berlin in 2019, the Working Group on the History of Dermatology and Venereology in the DDG (AGDV) together with the German Dermatological Society (DDG) has put together a plaque in honor of those who were murdered during the Nazi era or who committed suicide Have divorced Jewish dermatologists made their lives. Since 30 of the 69 colleagues mentioned came from Berlin alone, the board was installed in the large entrance foyer of the Clinic for Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology at the Charité University Medicine Berlin. DDG and AGDV agreed that in view of the flare-up of anti-Semitic tendencies in Germany, such a memorial plaque would send a clear signal.
