Jewish Hospital

As many Jews did not want to be treated by German doctors, the Jewish self-governing bodies called for their own medical infrastructure and a separate hospital as early as the end of 1945. In spring 1946, a UNRRA hospital for people of all origins persecuted by the Nazis was opened in the Max-Josef-Stift Gymnasium in the Munich district of Bogenhausen, which had served as a military hospital during the war. It was not until April 1949, under the direction of the head physician Dr. Moses Osterweil, that the hospital focused exclusively on medical care for Jewish survivors. The hospital was closed in fall 1951.
