As a young Jewish girl during World War II, Auerbacher was a prisoner at Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. Schatz is their powerful true story-told in their own words-of a scientist who changed the world and a woman who lived because of it.. Finding Dr. She learned of the controversy surrounding the discovery of streptomycin and Schatz's ultimate recognition for his work. In October of 1943, Schatz discovered streptomycin. But his professor, Selman Waksman, took the credit, relegating Schatz to the footnotes of history. As part of his doctoral research, Albert Schatz, a twenty-three-year-old graduate student at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, diligently worked alone in a basement laboratory to find an antibiotic to treat tuberculosis. As a result of their friendship, they decided to co-author this book. Auerbacher contacted Schatz in 1997, compelled to offer him gratitude for the scientific research that saved her life. Over fifty years later, German-born Inge Auerbacher read an article that named Schatz as co-discoverer of the drug. She was diagnosed with tuberculosis during her imprisonment and was able to receive the life-saving streptomycin after her immigration to America
Lisa said FINDING FABULOUS!!. It is rare to find a novel that weaves two stories together in such a way as Inge Auerbacher does in FINDING DR. SCHATZ. The stories of Inge's life as a child in the Holocaust tear at your heart strings, while the story of Dr. Schatz is gripping and real. The atrocities that occur to bring the lives of these two very different people together will forever live with me. Auerbacher's writing is deep, authentic, and very human. So many lessons can be learned from the stories she tells. I HIGHLY recommend this powerful novel.. A fantastic book! Vera Kaikobad A powerful connection shared by two extraordinary people, I really enjoyed reading this book, as I come from a medical background myself. Inge is an amazing individual, we are so honored that she is in our midst. A must-buy!. A wonderful story! of a doctor who saved many lives and a woman who was saved by the dr and how they found each other and their lives. How amazing!
