When World War II broke out, Leon Tec was a medical student in Vilna. In the days of eastern Europe's quota systems for Jews, he had the rare privilege of being one of only eight Jewish students permitted to attend the Stefan Batory Medical School. As the Nazis tightened their hold on eastern Europe, he escaped via, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, and Greece to reach Israel, then under the British mandate. After a brief period as a manual laborer, he was able to continue his medical studies at St. Joseph's University in Beirut., finally receiving his M.D. in 1944. During Israel's War of Independence, he served as a medical officer on several fronts. After the war he continued building up his private medical practice in Tel Aviv, but a yearning to be a psychiatrist set him on the road again. This time to New York's Bellevue Hospital where he completed his training and taught as a faculty member for six years. For much of his distinguished career he was medical director of the Mid-Fairfield Child Guidance Center in Connecticut. 197 pages. Your order on its way to you by the next business day!
