Pioneer Hospital Movement

Dr. Bernstein, 65 on Tuesday,
Helped Organize Maimonides

Important chanters in medical
history are brougnt to the atten-
tion of the Jewish community of
Detroit through the observance
next Tuesday of the 65th birth-

DR. ALBERT E. BERNSTEIN

day of a humble physician—Dr.
Albert E. Bernstein.
Although he always keeps in
the background, Dr. Bernstein
has to his credit a number of out-
standing accomplishments.
He was one of the organizers
of the Hebrew Hospital Asso-
ciation of Detroit in 1911, and
in his home the Maimonides
Medical Society was created.
Born Nov. 25, 1882, in Stabin,
the province of Suwalki, Poland
(then Russia), son of .Max and
Rebecca Bernstein, he was
brought to this continent at the
age of 1 when his family emig-
rated to Windsor, Ontario, in
1883.
He received an early indoc-
trination in community service.
At the age of 1896—he
was named secretary of the Wind-
sor Synagogue and was placed
in charge of the collection and
distribution of charity funds.
In 1900 he was graduated from
the Windsor Collegiate Institute
and in 1904 he completed his
medical studies at the Detroit
College of Medicine.
Began Hospital Movement
Dr. Bernstein, together with
Marcus Kates. Abe Katzen, Max
Knoppow; Phill ip E ttinger, Mr.
Iloiskin and Joseph Block, form-
ed an organization in 1911 to raise
funds for the construction of a
Jewish hospital. Two years later
they secured--,a charter for the
Hebrew Hospital Association.
The idea of forming a Jewish
medical society was conceived at
a meeting he called at his home
—he then resided at 2436 Antoine
St. Among those who attended
this meeting were Drs. Noah E.
Aronstam, Joseph Beisman, Jos-
eph Baruch, W. W. Kahn, Max-
well and Silver. It was at the
suggestion of Dr. Baruch that the
organization was named the
Maimonides Medical Society. It
was formed for a _three-fold pur-
pose: scientific and social and to
work for the establishment of a
Jewish hospital.
Dr. Bernstein, who was chos-
en the Maimonides Society's
first president, thus was a pion-
eer in medical organizational
work and in efforts to estab-
lish a Jewish hoSpital in De-
troit.
' Although he was in general
practice of medicine, Dr. Bern-

.

c

stein attended more than 7,000
obstetrical cases from 1904 to 1940
—including two sets of triplets.
For a number of years he had
the largest number of obstetrical
cases in Michigan.
From his first marriage he has
two children—Mrs. Louis Fine of
1915 Calvert and Irving Bern-
stein of 4031 Fullerton.
In 1925 he was married to Dr.
Eugenie May, a graduate of the
Imperial Medical Institute of
Odessa, Russia. They have three
children—Sander and Miriam,
students at the University of
Michigan, and Marvin, a student
at Cranbrook School. They re-
side at 2400 Boston Blvd. Dr.
Bernstein continues to practice
medicine at 80 Delaware.
A member of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek for 40 years, Dr.
Bernstein has been an active
Zionist for 35 years and a mem-
ber of Pisgah Lodge of Bnai
Brith for 25 years. He also is
associated with many other phil-
anthropic organizations. For 25
years he has been attending phy-
sician to the Eastern Ladies' So-
ciety.
His major activity has been in
behalf of the United Hebrew
Schools. Bernard Isaacs, super-
intendent of the schools, pays his
respects to Dr. Bernstein's ser-
vices in the following statement:
"Dr. Bernstein's interest in
Jewish education emanated from
a deep desire not only to propa-
gate the idea of Jewish educa-
tion among others, but also to
bring Jewish education to his own
home, to his own children, who
attended the United Hebrew
Schools until they completed the
full course prescribed by the
schools.
"Dr. Bernstein, who has been
a member of the board of direc-
tors of our schools for many
years, served for several years
I as vice president. He also served
twice as chairman of the member-
ship and scholarship campaign
conducted annually by the United
Hebrew Schools. In this capa-
city, he set an example of loyalty
and devotion to our institution of
learning. During campaign time,
he gave of himself unstintingly.
He also attracted a large num-
ber- of friends whom he interested
in our work and who, inspired
by his enthusiasm, worked with
great zeal for our cause. During
campaigns, Dr. and Mrs. Bern-
stein were hosts to our commit-
tees in an atmosphere of 'friend-
liness and festivity. This brought
all the workers together as a
family of enthusiasts for the cause
of Jewish education."

EMDEN, Germany. (JTA) —
Conditions at the camp here
which houses 2,400 of the Exodus
refugees are so bad that the elect-
ed camp committee has notified
the British occupation authorities
that unless drastic improvements
are made soon, the committee will
refuse to function as the inter-
mediary between the authorities
and the refugees.
A committee spokesman pointed
out that the British are now three
days behind in bread rations and
are not distributing other prom-
ised food regularly. He revealed
that only half of the refugees
have beds and mattresses, while
the others sleep on the floor. De-
spite the hardships, five couples
were married yesterday in a mass
wedding and three couples today.
The ORT has started eight vo-
cational training courses for the
Exodus refugees here. Some 1,400
persons have registered for the
classes, which are designed ex-
clusively for the Exodus people,
and wil be taught electrical en-
gineering, carpentry and dress-
making.
