Laszlo N. Tauber, M.D.
This plaque honors Laszlo N. Tauber, M.D., who when asked why he was as generous as he was to GW, explained that the gift is
"from a Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivor, who yearned for and found freedom and liberty in his beloved adopted country, The United States of America."
In his honor, we name the path to The George Washington Medical Center Schools between 23rd and 24th Streets the Tauber Walk
