Wilhelm Hueper : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wilhelm Hueper Dr. Wilhelm Carl Hueper, MD (b. November 4, 1894 - d. December 1, 1978) was an early pioneer in the field of occupational medicine, and was the first director of the Environmental Cancer Section of the National Cancer Institute, holding that post from 1938 to 1964. He is best remembered as one of the inspirations for author and environmental scientist, Rachel Carson. ==Early life==
Hueper was born in Schwerin, Mecklenburg,〔Larry Agran, The Cancer Connection (NY, St. Martin's 1977), p. 173〕 Germany to an impoverished family.〔Devra Davis, The Secret History of Cancer (Basic Books, 2007) Ch. 4, page 74-75〕 As a young man, he was drafted to fight in World War I, and dodged the chemical residue of poison gas blowing back on German troops. Initially, he was an infantryman, but later became a medic for an infantry battalion. He was a self-described pacifist because of this experience and reading books like "Nie Wieder Krieg" (Never War Again).〔Agran, pp. 173-174〕 After the war, he completed medical school of Rostock University in 1920 and then emigrated in 1923 with his wife to the United States.,〔Agran, p. 174.〕〔()〕 He was employed for six years as a pathologist at Loyola Medical School in Chicago. In 1933, he returned to Nazi Germany to look for work during the Depression. However, he quickly returned to the United States in 1934, having been shocked witnessing the chaotic state of Germany at that time. He also was appalled at the degraded condition of German science, including the use of human experimentation.〔Devra Davis, The Secret History of Cancer (Basic Books, 2007) Ch. 4, page 74-75.〕 He returned to the United States and produced a series of early publications on occupational causes of cancer.
