Jevreji u zdravstvu Bele Crkve 1780-1941

Abstract

U istoriji zdravstvene zaštite Bele Crkve važan položaj imali su jevrejski lekari, farmaceuti i veterinari. Od druge polovine XVIII veka u Belu Crkvu počeli su da pristižu kvalifikovani jevrejski lekari, uglavnom vojno osoblje, a od druge polovine XIX veka u gradu su takođe boravili jevrejski civilni pripadnici medicinske struke. U periodu između dva svetska rata, pored lekara rođenih u Beloj Crkvi koji su određene vreme tu i radili, nekoliko lekara iz raznih delova Evrope koji su izbegli nacističku vladavinu ovde su našli privremenu sigurnost. S dr Viktor Grosom, koji je napustio grad tokom pedesetih godina, završio se period tokom kojeg su jevrejski pripadnici medicinske struke svojom praksom ostavili neizbrisiv trag u zdravstvenoj zaštiti lokalnog stanovništva.

In the history of Bela Crkva's health care Jewish physicians, pharmacists, and veterinarians have an important position. From the second half of XVIII century qualified Jewish physicians, mostly military personnel, started arriving in Bela Crkva, and since the second half of XIX century Jewish civil members of the medical profession also resided in the town. In the period between two world wars, besides physicians born in Bela Crkva who also worked there for certain periods of time, several doctors from various parts of Europe who were escaping the Nazi rule found temporary safety there. With Viktor Gros, M.D., who left town during the fifties, ended the period during which Jewish members of the medical profession through their practice left an indelible imprint in the health care of the local population.
