As there seems to be a contest on bragging rights as to who graduated from medical school at the youngest age, how about my contribution? [News and analysis]1, [Letter]2

I am Jewish and I grew up in Holland. As such, I am a survivor of the Holocaust. I was in hiding from late August 1942 until we were liberated by Canadian troops in April 1945. I graduated from medical school at the University of Utrecht in June 1950, when I was 21 years old.
