[German-Latvian cooperation in the pathology specialty].
In the field of pathology there have been very close connections since the beginning of this century and a regular exchange of ideas between the pathologists of Latvia and Germany. Pathologists of Latvia were members of the German Association of Pathology. The stages of political changes in Europe very much influenced the exchanges of ideas. The following presentation will outline the activities and personalities in the sector of pathology in the time period until 1918--time of the Russian Czar Empire--, during the National State of Latvia and the Second World War (1918-1940), then during the Russian occupation of Latvia (1944-1991) and also the new time period after the political changes. Evaluated in this presentation the yearly support of the Baltic/German Symposiums, assisted by the IAP, which in addition to the activities in pathology also promote and encourage many personal contacts and friendships.
