Eduard Schnitzer

Eduard Schnitzer (1840-1892), born Isaak Eduard Schnitzer, baptized Eduard Carl Oscar Theodor Schnitzer, known as Mehmed Emin Pasha or simply Emin Pasha, was an Ottoman physician, born in Breslau. He went to Turkey, entered the Turkish medical service, adopted the name Emin Pasha, and was appointed by Gordon medical officer of the Equatorial Province of Egypt, and raised to the rank of Pasha. Soon after the outbreak of the Mahdist insurrection he was cut off from civilisation, but was discovered by Stanley in 1889 and brought to Zanzibar, after which he was murdered by Arabs.
