TWENTY YEARS OF NAHARIYA CONFERENCES ON MEDICINE AND THE HOLOCAUST

INTRODUCTION: Since the beginning of the current century, the Galilee Medical Center (formerly Nahariya Hospital) has held "Nahariya conferences on medicine and the Holocaust". It is a unique and ongoing enterprise that tells the wonderful story of Holocaust medicine on the one hand, and the terrible consequences of survivors' health and their offspring on the other. Discussions were held that contributed to intensive research and publications on these issues, as well as to the authorities' recognition of the later stages of Holocaust survivors' illnesses and injuries.
