Practice Dr. Oskar Hirschberg

Dr. Oskar Hirschberg was born on 6/9/1866 in Schwetz an der Warthe. He obtained his license to practice medicine after studying in Kiel and Berlin in 1890. On Jan. 26, 1915, he was awarded the title of Sanitätsrat. From 1922 to 1926 he worked at Sybelstraße 51 in Berlin. From 1927 he lived and worked in Leibnizstraße. He had been married to a non-Jewish woman in his second marriage since 1923, so he was able to remain in Berlin until 1945, but died of cardiac insufficiency as a result of malnutrition. From 1938 his license as a substitute health insurance and welfare practice expired. It was determined by the Reich Medical Association that he had to affix a blue sign identifying him as a so-called Jewish health care provider.
