Life and work of two Jewish dermatologists are described. Carl Lennhoff was the founder of a modern Dermatologie Clinic in 1931 and gained great merits in the development of the clinical dermatology in Magdeburg. In 1939 he emigrated to Norway and then to Sweden. He died in 1965 in Bad Reichenhall. Otto Schlein was a private dermatologist and participated in the political movement as a member of KPD. In 1936 he went to The Netherlands and was murdered in Auschwitz in 1944.
