  • Title: A doctor on the front line: Enrico Pajes (1912-1993).
    Author: Goodstein J, Scaramuzzi C.
    Journal: J Med Biogr; 2004 Aug; 12(3):172-82. PubMed ID: 15257355.
    Abstract:
    We conducted an interview in the summer and autumn of 1991 with Dr Enrico Chaim Pajes, a Jewish Polish doctor who trained in Italy before World War II. Pajes was arrested when Italy entered the war in 1940. For the next three years he was rotated through various prisons. He witnessed the bombing of Campagna in 1943 and risked his life to treat the wounded. After the war he started a new life as the head of a medical clinic for Jewish displaced persons in Grottaferrata, in the suburbs of Rome. How did a Jew of Polish origin end up practising medicine in Italy for over 40 years? This oral history is the story of Enrico Pajes's life.
