Descrizione
The so-called 'cadaver affair' first erupted in Vilno in 1921, when Polish students demanded a contribution of cadavers from the Jewish community proportionate to the number of Jewish medical students at the Stefan Batory University. They threatened to block their Jewish colleagues from participating in anatomy lectures and laboratory classes if no such contributions were made
