Jewish Hospital (Minsk Ghetto)

The Jewish hospital was located in the Minsk ghetto between 1941 and 1943, coinciding with the period of origin of the ghetto, and is today a musical school. It was in this hospital that the resistance against the German Wehrmacht and SS developed, as the hospital was an epidemic hospital for prisoners of the ghetto. German soldiers rarely entered the hospital for fear of possible infection. The chief physician was Lev Kulik. Yurij Teiz, also a doctor of the Jewish hospital, was able to escape from the Minsk ghetto with his wife and child and with the help of the partisans and is an important contemporary witness.

A memorial plaque is attached to the former building of the hospital, which refers to the resistance that developed there and the hospital. More information can be found at the Minsk History Workshop.
