“in the late 1930s .... by a young German physician, Hilde Bruch”
DOH! bet you feel stupid
Who was Hilde Bruch? She was a German-born research physician. She was also 100% Jewish. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, she was no longer allowed to have a job in her field, so she emigrated to London and from London to the USA.
All of her research and work in the field of obesity was conducted in the United States observing American subjects and patients.
DOH! bet you feel stupid
Not at all. But if I were the clown who accused a victim of the Nazis of being a Nazi, I would probably feel stupid - and also a little ashamed of myself.
