N2  - In Domus Medica, there is a white marble plaque with the names of Danish doctors who lost their lives during the occupation. Among these names is my father's "Stefan Jørgensen". The murder of my father was what is called a 'clearing' murder, i.e., the murder of a Dane chosen at random as retaliation for the killing of a German or an informer. My father was murdered at the door of his consulting rooms in his home on 24 April 1944. An article in Berlingske Tidende on 25 April stated that the murder occurred in the doctor's consulting rooms, where in the end two young men and a somewhat older man sat in the waiting room. When the doctor came out to receive the next patient, one of the younger men got up and shot at the doctor's head four times, where upon the doctor fell down, and the murderer fled. In 1993, a book by Jørgen Røjel, "Holger Danske rejser sig", was published. In the book is stated, On 24 April "Johs' father was murdered by Henning Brøndum". Hans Edvard Teglers writes in his book "Sabotage" from 1961, "On 24 April 1944, Doctor Stefan Jørgensen was murdered in his consulting rooms in Vaeldegaardsvej in Gentofte. The two terrorists, Brøndum and Bothilsen Nielsen, had sat in the waiting room. It later came to light that Dr. Stefan Jørgensen had been on the Gestapo's list of possible victims for the so-called 'clearing murders', the so-called A-file".<p /> <p>Language: da</p>
