Resumo Inglês:

Dr. Jacob Churg (1910-2005) was born in
Dolhinow, a Belarusian city that later became a part
of Poland and in 1939 was ceded to Russia during
the partition of Poland by Russia and Germany.
Churg’s father, Wolf, was a physician, and his
mother, Gita, a dentist. Jacob recalled reading his
father’s medical books and pestering him with many
questions. He graduated with a medical degree from
the University of Wilno (Poland) in 1933 and started
working at the Department of Internal Medicine.
He realized that he was less confident dealing with
patients than with “tissues.” In 1936, at the same
university, he began his studies in experimental
pathology.
