Abstract
The year 2016 observes the 90th anniversary of the death of Dr. Menahem Hodara, an internationally recognized Ottoman dermatologist who holds great significance in the history of medicine. However, our knowledge about his life and scientific studies has re- mained rather limited, perhaps because of his early passing at the age of 57. Considering this long-neglected gap in medical history, this article examines the obituaries written about him, which appeared in the Turkish press between July and December 1926. These obituaries are historically noteworthy not only because they provide firsthand informati- on about Dr. Hodara's life, personality and scientific achievements but also because they prove his high reputation in the medical community of his time.
