About this person
Gisella Perl was a Hungarian Jewish gynecologist deported to Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944, where she helped hundreds of women, serving as an inmate gynecologist. She worked without the bare necessities required to practice medicine. Perl survived the Holocaust, immigrated to New York, and became one of the first women to publicize the Holocaust experience in English through her 1948 memoir, I Was a Doctor in Auschwitz. She later specialized in infertility treatment at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York and eventually moved with her daughter to live in Herzliya, Israel, until her death.
