Rudi Moser (born April 6, 1898 in Berlin , † April 15, 1979 in Brisbane ) was a German- Jewish radiologist who was forced to emigrate under the Nazi race laws .

Life

His father was the SPD politician Julius Moses . He studied medicine from 1917 to 1924 and received his doctorate in 1924. From 1924 to 1927 he was an outpatient doctor in Berlin. Moser was a medical examiner in Erfurt until 1933 and in Apolda from 1929 . In 1933, his position as a medical officer was withdrawn from him and he was only allowed to work privately. According to the National Socialist Reich Citizenship Act of 1935, he was only allowed to treat Jewish patients. Several campaigns against him staged by the Nazis allowed his decision to emigrate from Germany to mature. In September 1937 he married his office assistant Eva Witepski, and in October 1938 he emigrated to Manila via England . Since 1947 he was professor and head of the radiological department of the College of Medicine at the Manila Central University. Doctors from all over the country attended his x-ray and electromedicine courses. In 1949 he founded the "Dr. Moser's School of Electromedicine and X-Ray (Refresher)". In May 1952 he moved to Brisbane in Australia and only became a radiologist and radiation therapist there again after great difficulties. The Federal Republic of Germany awarded him the title of Medical Director. Moser died in Brisbane without having been to Apolda again. In 1993 the city of Apolda honored the deceased by naming a street after his name.

Services

In Apolda, Moser further developed pulmonary care into a branch of health prophylaxis. He dealt with the occurrence of health-promoting medicinal springs in the area of ​​Apolda. He often treated socially disadvantaged people free of charge. In the Philippines and Australia, he unselfishly passed on his knowledge to the country's medical staff who were being trained.
