[Mementos of the Berlin-Jewish ophthalmologist Oskar Fehr (1871-1959)].

Anti-Semitism and National Socialism destroyed the existence of many individuals. Their names and biographies disappeared into oblivion. The bequest of ophthalmo--historical papers by Ms. Jutta Lauber, daughter of the Austrian ophthalmologist Hans Lauber (1876-1952), allowed us to trace the fate of the Jewish ophthalmologist Oskar Fehr (1871-1959). In the first decades of the 20th century Oskar Fehr was an internationally renowned ophthalmic surgeon and pathologist. Disregarding political adversities and ignoring personal losses and hardships he dedicated his life to the service of human health.
