Monitoring of topical corticosteroid phobia in a population of parents with children with atopic dermatitis using the TOPICOP(r) scale: prevalence, risk factors and the impact of therapeutic patient education
specialists in the field had a right not to know the abundant literature' Kurt Mendel, who was a neurologist in Berlin, survived as a 'non Aryan' in the Nazi era, because he lived in a privileged 'mixed marriage' but was affected by the withdrawal of the license to practice his professional existence in 1938. On the basis of the new National Socialist 'Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service' he was dismissed from his post in 1933 and in 1934 his teaching license was revoked. In 1938, his name was purged from all editorial boards of scientific German journals. In November 1942, Buschke was deported to the concentration camp at Theresienstadt (Bohemia) There he died on 25 February 1943, according to the CC documentation, of a natural death at an age of 75 years. LEUR owenstein (Fig. 2) was born on 28 November 1895 in Lichtenau, Westphalia. Later, he became assistant of the then already famous Professor Buschke. In contrast to Buschke, LEUR owenstein was a political man and in 1928 joined the 'Association of Socialist Physicians' He also became a victim of the measures to remove Jews from public service in 1933. In contrast to Buschke, LEUR owenstein filed an appeal against this decision in which 'he asserted not only his patriotic and national sentiments, but supplied even sworn declarations by members of the SA and the NSDAP which should prove his loyalty' This was unsuccessful and in 1934 LEUR owenstein was officially dismissed. In 1937, he emigrated to New York where he died in 1959. Together with Buschke, he published the paper 'About condylomata acuminata of the penis' in 1925, followed by a second publication in 1931 'About the relations of condylomata to carcinoma of the penis' They described a verrucous lesion of the penis which histologically resembled a condyloma but clinically a carcinoma without metastasis. Buschke is considered to have been one of the greatest venereologists of his time. Being of Jewish origin, Buschke was dismissed and stripped of all his titles, his name was erased from all editorial boards of German journals and some of his books were publicly burnt. However, his name and fame has survived Nazism, and his achievements in dermatology have remained.
