The Rothschild Hospital was opened in 1873 by the Jewish Community of Vienna (IKGW). At the time of National Socialism, it was the only hospital in Vienna that treated Jewish patients and where Jewish doctors could work. After the end of World War II, it was used as a DP camp. In 1960, the building was demolished. A memorial plaque for the former hospital was placed on the building that is there today.

The Landhaus Lehnitz is a symbol of Jewish life, faith, resistance, self-contemplation of one's own culture and identity, lived care for community members, and therefore of a Jewish community that responds to and shapes the world in which it lives. It is the result of a transformation from a Jewish convalescent home for working women and adolescent girls to a Jewish convalescent home in the midst of National Socialist terror.In 1896 the administrations of the Jewish hospitals and the Poor Commission from the Jewish community of Berlin came together.

The Jewish Hospital Berlin-Wedding has been the third hospital of the Jewish Community Berlin. In  1756 the first hospital was founded in Berlin-Mitte, it was located in Oranienburger Straße. The second one was built in Auguststraße in 1861. Due to considerable increase of city residents and living Jews in the city, it was decided to build a new hospital in what was then Schulstraße, this hospital was opened on June 22, 1914 and survived both world wars.

In 1911 Martha Wygodzinski, since 1902 as the first licensed Ärztin in the hospital "Am Urban" tig, founded together with Hermine Heusler Edenhuizen the "New Polyclinic for women" in the former. Alexanderstra;e 8 in Berlin-Mitte (today part of the ALEXA).

In memory of Martha Wygodzinski was on 16.11.2001 on the opposite side of the street, in front of the house Alexanderstra;e 25, a "Stolperstein" laid.

The Israelite Hospital was opened in 1904 and offered 40 beds with another 15 beds in an attached old people's home. After 1933, regular work was no longer possible here. Many elderly Jews found shelter here during the National Socialist era. In 1942, they were all deported along with the doctors and staff.

After the end of the war, the building served as accommodation for Mainz citizens*. In the early 1970s, it was demolished.

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.
