Abstract:
With limited funds and a staff depleted by emigration, the Breslau Jewish Hospital cared throughout the Nazi period for an impoverished and aging population. It took in the victims of the "Kristallnacht" pogrom, prisoners released from the concentration camps, and, both before and during the war, inmates of labor camps in the vicinity. At the start of the Second World War the buildings, together with most of the equipment, were requisitioned by the authorities and the hospital moved to a series of makeshift quarters. Towards the end, it was used for selection for transports and for care of Jews in the collection centers. With the final liquidation of the Jews of Breslau, the hospital also was liquidated. For Jews from mixed families, who were spared until early 1945, a hospital was set up in the administration building of the Jewish cemetery.
