Hamburg Radiation Martyrs memorial

edit

@EricEnfermero: many thanks for writing this article. The following may be of interest: a blog account (fictionalised story), including a photo of the Hamburg Radiation Martyrs memorial. I have a note to write something about that memorial at some point (partly through wondering how many of those on the memorial have articles). Kassabian is one of them, and his commemoration on the memorial could be mentioned in this article you have written. The initial list (later added to) is here. See also here. If someone can access a complete list of the c.160 names (page 48 of Radiography and Clinical Photography, Volumes 12-13, 1936), that might be a starting point. As an example, another of the names on the memorial is Heinrich Albers-Schönberg. There are some articles in the German Wikipedia as well, such as de:C. Edmund Kells. Some are mentioned elsewhere, such as Louis A. Weigel. Some won't have enough for articles, but brief biographical notes could be added to an article on the memorial. Another is Frank Howard Swett. See also here. Others on the memorial are Clarence Madison Dally, Robert Abbe, Frederick Henry Baetjer, Eugene Wilson Caldwell. Two of those are from a series on US pioneers of radiology, published in 1936 by Percy Brown. All of them appear to be online, eg Walter James Dodd. Not sure if all are also on the Hamburg memorial.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I'm working on an entry for George E. Pfahler, another influential radiologist (though not one of the radiation martyrs), but I'll be sure to check these out. EricEnfermero (Talk) 18:08, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
