Martin Gumpert (13 November 1897 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born physician, dermatologist, historian, and author. Born in Berlin, Gumpert specialized in dermatology and medical history. His early life included service as a medical orderly during WI and academic pursuits in Berlin and Heidelberg, culminating in a dissertation on syphilis in 1923. Gumpert also engaged in expressionist poetry and literature. He went on to write texts on pediatrics and developmental deformity. In 1933 Gumpert was forced out of his medical position by the Nazi rise to power. Over the next few years he wrote several texts of literature and the history of science and medicine. He was further excluded from the association of German writers, the Reichsverband deutscher Schriftsteller as a Jew in 1935 and emigrated to the United States in 1936. Gumpert opened a dermatology practice in New York in 1936 and became a US citizen in 1942.[ During these years Gumpert became a friend of the siblings Erika and Klaus Mann and in 1949 visited their father Thomas Mann in Germany. Thomas Mann used Gumpert's medical knowledge on the course of syphilis in writing his novel Doktor Faustus. From 1952 Gumpert edited the gerontology journal Lifetime Living and worked as a geriatrician at the Jewish Memorial Hospital, New York. Gumpert continued to write about the exile experience in poems and literary publications. More
