Jacques Joseph

He was a pioneer of rhinoplasty, which he developed and performed on many of Berlin's Jewish community (to which he also belonged).

In 1916, he was appointed head of the newly founded Department of Facial Plastic Surgery at the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic at the Charité by the Prussian Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs.

On 12 February 1934, Jacques Joseph died of a heart attack in the hallway of his house in Berlin on his way to his practice.

Joseph's grave, long thought to be lost, was discovered in the early 2000s in the Jewish Weißensee cemetery.

After reconstruction of the gravestone, it was rededicated by leading members of the Jewish community of Berlin on October 17, 2004.
