Paula was a strong and determined woman. Born in Germany in 1903, she survived war and famine, and obtained her medical degree in Heidelberg. She specialized in pediatrics and dermatology. She suffered Nazi persecution for marrying Paul, who was Jewish. She endured the trials of emigration to a strange country, re-writing her medical exams, and building a new career as a physician and teacher. She persevered to become an assistant professor at McGill University, and a consulting specialist to area hospitals. She was elected a Fellow of the Canadian Dermatological Association and President of the Montreal Dermatological Society in an era when women were not readily accepted into medicine. She became President of the prestigious Ladies' Morning Music Club and was instrumental in introducing chamber music to the English community in a city where the arts were mainly recognized and appreciated by the French population. She endured the premature loss of her beloved husband and practiced as a dermato-histopathologist until her retirement at the age of eighty-eight. A Royal Victoria Hospital laboratory was named in her honour. She died in her 99th year.
