Dr. Haakon Sæthre was a leader of Norwegian neurology and psychiatry. He was resourceful, compassionate and had immense pride in his independent homeland. He described Sæthre-Chotzen syndrome (acrocephalosyndactyly type III). When Nazi Germany occupied Norway during World War II, Sæthre fearlessly and actively resisted, from revoking his medical association membership, to hiding persecuted Jews as patients in his psychiatric ward and aiding in their escape to Sweden, to managing the largest "illegal" food warehouse in Oslo with Danish humanitarian aid. As a prominent and noticeable citizen, he was arrested and executed by the Nazis in reprisal for the resistance's assassination of a hated Norwegian Nazi. His legacy lives on in Norway, where he was honored by a scholarship fund, a portrait and multiple plaques at Ullevål Hospital, and a street and memorial statue in his hometown. He was a hero and should be remembered by all who practice neurology.
哈康·塞特雷博士是挪威神经学和精神病学领域的一位领军人物。他足智多谋、富有同情心,并且对自己独立的祖国深感自豪。他描述了塞特雷-乔岑综合征(III型尖头并指畸形)。第二次世界大战期间纳粹德国占领挪威时,塞特雷无畏且积极地进行抵抗,从撤销自己的医学协会会员资格,到将受迫害的犹太人作为患者藏在他的精神病病房并协助他们逃往瑞典,再到用丹麦的人道主义援助管理奥斯陆最大的“非法”食品仓库。作为一位杰出且引人注目的公民,他因抵抗组织暗杀一名令人憎恶的挪威纳粹分子而被纳粹逮捕并处决。他的遗产在挪威延续,在那里他被一项奖学金基金、一幅画像以及于勒沃尔医院的多块牌匾所纪念,并且在他的家乡有一条街道和一座纪念雕像。他是一位英雄,所有从事神经学工作的人都应该铭记他。
