NYAM Fellows Author Night with Myron Winick, M.D. 
Speakers: Myron Winick, MD, Author of The Final Stamp
From February to the middle of July 1942 a remarkable study was carried out in the Warsaw ghetto, a study of starvation conducted by the Jewish physicians in the two largest hospitals in the ghetto. The results of this study have survived and become a cornerstone of the medical literature on the changes undergone by the human body when not enough food is available. The Final Stamp is an historical novel about that study—why it was done, how it was done, who carried it out, what was found, and how it survived. Everything about the study itself is historically accurate; Dr. Winick has brought life to the real physicians involved in his novel’s fictional characterizations.
More information, and copies of the book for purchase are available here: The Final Stamp or on Amazon.com should you wish to read the novel before the event.
