Lisamaria Meirowsky

Lisamaria Meirowsky (* September 17, 1904 in Graudenz; † August 9, 1942 in Auschwitz) was a German dermatologist and pediatrician murdered by the Nazis because of her Jewish heritage.

After graduating from high school in Cologne, she began studying medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Bonn in 1923.

The title of the dissertation in the field of dermatology was "Über das Krankheitsbild des Erythema palmoplantare symmetricum hereditarium."

On July 26, 1942, the Archbishop of Utrecht, Jan de Jong, had a pastoral letter read out against the Germans' actions against the Jews.

In May 2014, a commemorative paving stone was laid in front of her last residence in Cologne-Lindenthal at Fürst-Pückler-Strasse 42 by students of a Cologne high school.
