Hans Ucko (born January 19, 1900 in Dresden , † 1967 in London ) was a German physician.

Life and activity

After studying medicine and completing his doctorate, Ucko became a private lecturer in internal medicine at the Berlin Charité in 1930.

A few months after the National Socialists came to power , Ucko was dismissed from civil service in accordance with Section 3 of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service.
