This paper discusses a dimly-lit and largely unknown time in the life of a great pediatric and public health dentistry pioneer. Alfred Kantorowicz survived extermination thanks to the fact that in 1933, Turkey began to reform its higher education using invitees fleeing the Nazis and for whom America was out of reach because of restrictive immigration laws and widespread anti-Semitic hiring policies at its universities. Kantorowicz introduced public health dentistry to Turkey years before it was practiced in the United States.
