Many X-ray pioneers died from the effects of radiation exposure. Their biographies are known, while the patients who suffered adverse effects of radiation are generally anonymous. Hans Meyer, a radiologist from Bremen who served as the president of the German X-ray Society (Deutsche Röntegengesellschaft) in 1929 and 1933, collected 159 biographies on those harmed by radiation and published them, in 1937, in his memorial book of X-ray martyrs of all nations. On April 4th, 1936, a monument bearing their names was dedicated in Hamburg, in front of the clinic where Heinrich Ernst Albers-Schönberg – whose biography is the first in the book – had worked.
