George M Weisz, Richard W Haber

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Medical records discovered after the liberation of ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe are unique documents that report on the suffering of inmates, on ravaging infectious diseases, and on starvation-related organ degeneration and the resulting mortality. We attempt an explanation for the scarcity of acute myocardial infarction in the Lodz Ghetto, Poland.
