Why Is Edgar von Gierke Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Edgar Otto Conrad von Gierke was a German Jewish pathologist who specialized in glycogenesis and discovered glycogen storage disease type I in 1929. Early life Edgar was born in 1877 the Prussian province of Silesia in Breslau to a famous Pomeranian German family. He was the son of the noted legal scholar Otto von Gierke and Marie Caecilie Elise née Loening . Edgar had a sister named Anna von Gierke and a brother named Julius. Marie was an Evangelical Christian but her parents had converted from Judaism to Christianity in the 1840s prior to her birth. Thus, under the racial laws of German Nazi rule, she was considered to be Jewish as was Edgar, who identified as a Protestant. As a result, Edgar was labeled "Mischling 1. Grades" by the Nazi party.
