Heinz Lord

A survivor of the Nazi concentration camps, Lord was elected Secretary-General of the World Medical Association shortly before his death in 1961.

[2] For his poorly disguised anti-Nazi sentiments and for his contacts with a British Secret Service agent, Lord was arrested in 1943 and interned at Neuengamme concentration camp, a "correctional" institution set up according to Robert Ritter' theory of race hygiene.

Lord returned to Hamburg[4] and resided there until 1954, completing his specialist degrees in surgery and urology,[1] and an internship at professor Degkwitz' clinic for the children.

[5] He was credited with reestablishment of the Marburger Bund[4] and reintroducing American popular music to post-war Hamburg scene.

In 1957, after three years of residency at Bridgeport, Connecticut Hospital,[1] he obtained a U.S. professional license and opened a surgical practice in Barnesville, Ohio.
