This short biography traces the career of Jewish bee researcher Ruth Lotmar (1910-1989) and shows how Nazi Germany changed her life and forced her into a new perspective.
In 1946 Ruth Lotmar described for the first time the pathogen of an important bee disease, which will later be named after her - lotmaria passim, making her unforgettable as a researcher.

Acknowledgments
Dear Dr. Fuchs,
I have finally downloaded and read your touching biography of Dr. Lotmar. I am not adept at the German references but nevertheless learned a lot from your book. Fascinating that she and her family had a tie to the Klee's, another genius family. Happily, the name 'Lotmaria' seems to have stuck and is getting used to help clarify honey bee maladies. Dr. Lotmar was truly ahead of her time and Ryan Schwarz was correct to push for her recognition.
All the best,
Jay
