This paper provides a historical perspective on Ordinarius Professor Albert Eckstein. He was the architect of modern paediatrics in Turkey. The year 2005 was the 55th anniversary of Professor Albert Eckstein's death and the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Paediatric Clinics at Ankara University, where he served for five years as the founding director while in forced exile from Nazi Germany. This is a tale of an individual caught at the crossroads and in the crossfire of history. His native land was in the throes of discarding him. His life was saved because (to him) an alien country was discarding a societal culture inherited from the Ottomans. Turkey recognized the need to modernize its society. The Nazis came to power. Albert Eckstein, a noted German paediatrician, was Jewish.
本文提供了阿尔贝特·埃克斯坦教授的历史视角。他是土耳其现代儿科学的缔造者。2005年是阿尔贝特·埃克斯坦教授逝世55周年，也是他曾流亡期间在纳粹德国被迫离开祖国，在安卡拉大学担任儿科诊所创始主任长达五年的儿科诊所成立60周年。这是一个处于历史十字路口和战火中的人的故事。他的祖国在痛苦中抛弃了他。而他得以保命，是因为（对他而言）一个异国正在摒弃从奥斯曼帝国继承的社会文化。土耳其认识到其社会现代化的必要性。纳粹上台。阿尔贝特·埃克斯坦，一位著名的德国儿科医生，是犹太人。
