I describe in my PhD thesis the status and fates Jewish pharmacists in the interwar Czechoslovakia and their fate during Second World War. The largest number of Jewish pharmacists was located on the territory of Carpathian Ruthenia, followed by Slovakia and ultimately historic lands - Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.
The Munich Agreement, the Second Republic and the beginning of World War II meant a tragedy for Jewish pharmacists . Only a few individuals of them emigrated in time. Largely Jewish pharmacists from Czech lands finished in the Terezin ghetto (where it served as a hospital pharmacy), some killed right in the ghetto, some in the subsequent concentration camps (Dachau, Auschwitz and others). Pharmacies of Jewish owners were Aryanized. The fates of the Jews, who lived in Slovakia and Hungarian Kingdom (occupied Carpathian Ruthenia and south of Slovakia), Sudetenland (occupied Germany) and Cieszyn Silesia (occupied Poland) were somewhat different, but their fate was no less tragic. But I have lack information about their fates.
Dear Colleague,
I forwarded this to the leading German (and supposedly) worldwide expert for Jewish pharmacists, which I know very well. He may come back to you.
Dear Colleague,
thank you very much for your kind message. I like to wait for new informations.
Have a nice day!
Dear Colleague,
in case the expert hasn't answered yet, you will certainly be able to contact him directly: Prof. Dr. Frank Leimugel, Univ. of Düsseldorf
