The pathologist Rudolf Jaffé (1885-1975) is considered one of the most important specialists of his time - even though he had to flee from the Nazis and attempt a professional restart in South America. The article examines the concrete background of his emigration to South America and the factors that enabled Jaffé to establish pathology as a scientific discipline in Venezuela. Various archival documents and materials from the private archives of Jaffé's descendants serve as sources. These documents are supplemented by relevant secondary literature. Jaffé's career can be divided into four phases: (1) Jaffé's broad education, which qualified him for his later work in Venezuela. (2) Jaffé's professional activity at the Senckenberg Institute of Pathology in Frankfurt. (3) His career peak in Germany as head of the Institute of Pathology in Berlin-Moabit, and finally (4) his forced emigration to Venezuela, where he became the doyen of the field of pathology. It can be shown that Jaffé's great scientific success, even after his emigration, was based on three factors: his exceptional personality, his broad, multifaceted training, and the special conditions in Venezuela.
病理学家鲁道夫·雅费（1885 - 1975）被认为是他那个时代最重要的专家之一——尽管他不得不逃离纳粹，并试图在南美洲重新开始职业生涯。本文探讨了他移民到南美洲的具体背景以及使雅费能够在委内瑞拉将病理学确立为一门科学学科的因素。来自雅费后代私人档案的各种档案文件和材料作为资料来源。这些文件辅以相关的二手文献。雅费的职业生涯可分为四个阶段：（1）雅费接受的广泛教育，这使他有资格在委内瑞拉从事后来的工作。（2）雅费在法兰克福森肯伯格病理研究所的专业活动。（3）他在德国担任柏林 - 莫阿比特病理研究所所长时的职业巅峰，最后（4）他被迫移民到委内瑞拉，在那里他成为了病理学领域的元老。可以看出，雅费即使在移民后取得的巨大科学成就，也是基于三个因素：他非凡的个性、广泛而多方面的训练以及委内瑞拉的特殊条件。
