Israel Milejkowski

Israel Milejkowski was a physician at the Czyste St. Hospital in Warsaw. When the Nazis invaded the city, Milejkowski served as head of the Judenrat’s health department, in which capacity he documented the effects of hunger on the ghetto’s population. He also aimed to show that the Jewish spirit did not fail under dire conditions. Milejkowski himself perished either in Warsaw or while being transported to Treblinka.
