As of 1.1.2013, out of 24,811 persons awarded the status of Righteous Among the Nations, 245 (1%) were physicians and 31 were medical students. They were active in helping and saving Jews in various ways: surgery for hiding signs of Jewish identity, hospitalizations, smuggling medical supplies into the ghettos, providing false documents, hiding people and active fighting. We must remember them and pay them homage. We are equally obligated to the Jewish physicians, who saved the lives of other Jews during the Holocaust, at the risk of their own lives. |
