ABSTRACT

The author presents a brief synopsis of the life and works of Professor Francis Rohmer, a French neurologist whose great relevance to the development of the French Neurological Society is only outshined by his humanistic role, in spite of harsh conditions, when a prisoner at the Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany, during World War II.

RESUMO

O autor apresenta uma breve revisão da vida e obra do Prof. Francis Rohmer, neurologista francês, cuja enorme relevância para o desenvolvimento da Sociedade Neurológica Francesa foi apenas ultrapassada pelo seu papel humanístico a despeito de condições difíceis quando prisioneiro no Campo de Concentração alemão de Dachau durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
