Abramovitch Breido has passed away. It was absolutely unexpected: his
heart suddenly began to ache, and in fifteen minutes he departed. Several
days ago he took part in the celebration of the centenary since P.M. Pospelov's
birth. P.M. Pospelov is the founder of the Karaganda medical institute -
the alma mater of many doctors who live all over the world. For the last
two months Wulf Abramovitch had lived with that only event - he published
two articles in an anniversary magazine and was very excited. He made
a speech on the celebration and suggested that the institute should be
called after Pospelov. Somebody from the audience replied that in this
case the institute's museum should be called after its founder and curator -
Wulf Breido. I believe that one day it will be so.
A doctor, resigned medical colonel, candidate of medical science
and assistant professor Wulf Breido was a researcher, scientist, and publicist
all his life. The first articles of the International Historical Conference
"Jews in Kazakhstan" contained his work on the Jewish doctors'
participation in the foundation of the medical institute in Karaganda.
When giving him the book I felt sincere interest towards his topic. He
was a real scientist. He wanted to participate in the following conferences.
Now it is impossible.
