  • Protestantism, Nationalism, and the Contest for the Corpse During the Rise of American Medicine
    THE RESURRECTION AND THE KNIFE: PROTESTANTISM, NATIONALISM, AND THE CONTEST FOR THE CORPSE DURING THE RISE OF AMERICAN MEDICINE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Tiffany DeRewal May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Katherine Henry, Advisory Chair, English Michael Kaufmann, English James Salazar, English Michael Sappol, External Member, Uppsala University ii © Copyright 2019 by Tiffany DeRewal All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how advocates for anatomical medicine in the early American republic defended medical training through dissection by framing anatomy as a Protestant spiritual and civic initiative. The project draws attention to prominent anatomists and anatomy advocates from the 1760s to the 1830s who did not dismiss the religious values and rhetoric of the people who rioted against dissections and bodysnatching, but instead imaginatively remodeled the Christian principles that had been wielded against them. Utilizing the public forums that were afforded to them as wealthy white Protestant intellectuals, these figures drew upon the mythologies of the new nation as well as the New Testament to defend the practice of dissection and persuade a largely Protestant public of the virtues of the dissected corpse. As this project will emphasize, they also used evangelical Protestant ideology to justify the pillaging of African American cemeteries and almshouse burial grounds for dissection subjects. Reinforcing an evangelical Protestant and portrait of nativist American citizenship, their rhetoric would ultimately play a powerful role in shaping state intervention in the regulation of medical schools and their supply of anatomical subjects.

  • Anatomy Atlas Pernkopf Pdf
    Anatomy atlas pernkopf pdf Continue The Austrian anatomist who compiled a controversial textbook in the Nazi era by Eduard PernkopfEduard Pernkopf in academic regalia. Born (1888-11-24)24 November 1888Rappottenstein, Austria-Hungary17 April 1955 (1955-04-17) (age 66)Vienna, AustriaNationalityAustrianAlma materUniversity of ViennaKnown forTopographische Anatomie des Menschen, anatomical atlas, possibly derived from executed Nazi political prisonersAustrianAturismNical anatomy of Eduard Pernkopf (November 24, 1888 - April 17, 1955) - Austrian professor of anatomy, later served as rector of the University of Vienna. It is best known for its seven-volume anatomical atlas Topographische Anatomie des Menschen (translated as Atlas of topographical and applied human anatomy; often colloquially known as pernkopf atlas or simply Pernkopf), produced by Pernkopf and four artists over a 20-year period. Although it is considered a scientific and artistic masterpiece, many of its color plates have been reprinted in other publications and textbooks, in recent years it has been established that Pernkopf and the artists working for it, all of them ardent Nazis, used executed political prisoners as their subjects. The early life of Pernkopf was born in 1888 in the lower Austrian village of Rappottenstein, near the border with Bavaria. The youngest of three sons, he seemed to be considering a career in music after finishing high school in Horne. However, the death of his father, a village doctor, in 1903 forced him to take up medicine, as the death of his father led to considerable difficulties in the family, which are likely to collapse on the other side. He began his studies at the University of Vienna School in 1907.

  • From the Danube to the Spree Over a Century Ago, Thousands Of
    WILLIAM E. SEIDELMAN FROM THE DANUBE TO THE SPREE: DECEPTION, TRUTH AND MORALITY IN MEDICINE Aus: Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes (Hrsg.), Jahrbuch 1999, Wien 1999. From the Danube to the Spree Over a century ago, thousands of physicians from English-speaking countries journeyed to Vienna and Berlin to study with the great leaders and pioneers of medical science. One of those visitors was a Canadian, Dr. William Osler, who was to become one of the most distinguished physicians of his time. In 1874 Osler wrote a letter to a Canadian journal from „Allgemeines Krankenhaus“ in which he gave an enthusiastic account of his attendance at lectures and clinics of the „Vienna School“ including the seventieth birthday celebration of Professor Carl Rokitansky. In Osler’s words, „Americans swarm here, there are fifty or sixty of them at least, and Great Britain is represented by five or six Edinburgh men and a couple of Londoners.“ Ten years later, Osler attended lectures and clinics in Berlin including those of Rudolf Virchow. While in Berlin he was present at a dinner honoring Robert Koch that celebrated the pride of the German people „at the fresh honours to German science which had resulted from Koch’s labours.“ Osler extolled the benefits of „the strong Semitic Element“ in the Berlin medical community, but at the same time commented on the burgeoning anti-Semitism and wrote with pre- scient foreboding of the potential impact of „a Semitic exodus from Germany.“ Returning to Vienna in 1908, Osler was struck by the wonderful

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The diffi culty is, you see, that our imagination cannot count […] And if I say one died - a man I have made you know and understand […] then perhaps I have told you something that you should know about the Nazis. Erich Maria Remarque, 19461 he connection between Erich Maria Remarque, author of the World TWar I novel All Quiet on the Western Front, and anatomy in National Socialism was a woman named Elfriede Scholz. She was a seamstress, born on 25 March 1903, and was executed in Berlin-Plötzensee at noon on 16 December 1943. Her execution had followed a verdict of “aiding and abetting the enemy”; she had criticized Hitler in conversations with her neighbors, who then denounced her to the authorities. Directly after the execution her body was taken to the anatomical department of the Fried- rich-Wilhelm University of Berlin and used by Hermann Stieve, chairman of anatomy, for his research. Her maiden name was Remark, and she was Erich Maria Remarque’s sister.2 I had never heard of fates like that of Elfriede Scholz, or of any in- volvement of anatomists with the National Socialist regime and its vic- tims, despite my interest in this period of German history. Born not that long after World War II in a small town in Western Germany, I always felt the silent presence of the aftermath of the Third Reich around me. I grew up without Jewish neighbors and knew synagogues only as empty spaces in urban landscapes. My fi rst school was called Geschwister-Scholl-Schule after Sophie and Hans Scholl, university students who had been executed because of their resistance against Hitler.

R. SHANE TUBBS* Editor-in-Chief Seattle, WA Welcome to our first issue of 2016. This year, Clinical Anatomy will provide our readership with cutting edge publications that can be used for improved patient care as well as in the teaching of anatomy to future practi- tioners of medicine and the health related professions. Oliver Wendell Homes (1809-1894) (Fig. 1), a true Renaissance man, is known for his famous opening line (and the title of this editorial) for his anatomy course at Harvard Medical School. This whimsical comment not only applies to the complexity of this single bone but to the deeper aspects of anatomy as well. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. was a physician, dean of the Harvard Medi- cal School, one of the best regarded American poets of the 19th century, father of a future United States Supreme Court Justice, inventor and — unknown to many — an anatomist. His friends included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Louis Pasteur. He trained with some of the most influential Fig. 1.
