Medical practice Lothar Conitzer

Lothar Conitzer, born in West Prussia in 1865, came from a wealthy merchant family and was therefore able to study medicine. He ran a successful medical practice in Hamburg, lived with his wife Frieda and three children in comfortable circumstances and was fond of art and society. Due to anti-Semitic laws, he lost his livelihood from 1935, had to flee in 1938 and ended up destitute in Cape Town, where he and his wife died in 1947.
