A Physician Under the Nazis: Memoirs of Henry Glenwick

by David Glenwick (Editor)

A Physician Under the Nazis are the memoirs of the first forty years (1909-1948) of the life of Henry Glenwick. It focuses on his experiences as a physician in Russian-occupied Ukraine after the outbreak of World War II, his return to the Warsaw ghetto, and his subsequent journey through labor and concentration camps in Poland and Germany. Following a post-war period in Displaced Persons camps in Germany, the book concludes with the writer's cross-Atlantic trip to New York and the beginnings of his life in the United States. This memoir provides the rarely-heard perspective on the Holocaust of a Jewish physician who served both Russian and German occupiers during the war.

This is one doctor's story on how he survived the holocaust.

It's a very short read with very little details but it's nonetheless a good quick read and gives you perspective on how a doctor's degree did really help him survive.
