Baruch Milch
1907–1989
Physician Baruch Milch was born in Podhajce, Poland. His wife and family were killed during World War II, but he survived because of the need for his medical skills. He was forced into hiding in 1943 and wrote details of his wartime experiences on scraps of paper that he later donated to the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. After immigrating to Israel in 1948, Milch rewrote his memoir in Hebrew, which was published in English by Yad Vashem.
