It was real!
SYNDROME K: THE FAKE WW2 DISEASE THAT SAVED JEWS FROM THE NAZIS
(snip) On October 16, 1943, Nazi soldiers began a raid on a Jewish ghetto in Rome. A stone’s throw away from the ghetto was the ancient 450-year-old Fatebenefratelli Hospital, located on a tiny 270-metre long island in the middle of Rome’s Tiber River.
Under the direction of Professor Giovanni Borromeo, a man who’d previously refused to join the Fascist party, the Catholic hospital had already become known as a safe haven for Jews, allowing doctors like Vittorio Sacerdoti, a 28-year-old Jewish man who had lost his previous job due to his religion, to work under false papers in the hospital. Borromeo had also installed an illegal radio transmitter and receiver in the hospital basement, which was used to communicate with local partisans.
On the day of the 16th, the hospital opened its doors to all Jews seeking shelter from the Nazi raid. Borromeo knew the hospital was sure to be searched and so he, Sacerdoti and another physician called Adriano Ossicini, came up with an ingenious plan. They decided that any Jew who came to the hospital seeking refuge would be admitted as a new patient and declared to be suffering from a highly contagious and deadly disease known as ‘Il Morbo di K’, aka Syndrome K or ‘K’ Syndrome.
