Fake Epidemic Saves Jews in Village from Nazis
He defied the Germans, repeatedly risking his life to save the lives of thousands. Dr. Eugene Lazowski is considered a hero to many, but for him, saving others was his only option—it was simply the right thing to do. Dr. Lazowski was a soldier and doctor in the Polish Army, Polish Underground Army and Red Cross during World War II. Based on a medical discovery by his friend, Stanislaw Matulewicz , he created a fake epidemic of a dangerous infectious disease, Epidemic Typhus, in the town Rozwadow, as well as surrounding villages.
When this research project began in 1994, it was all about connecting people to the stories of the Holocaust. Now we are enlisting a group of teachers and students, helping us sift through the many amazing resources online, and provide reviews and recommendations on the best resources. This video is courtesy of Harold Gordon, author of the Last Sunrise. His message, to put hate on hold, has been shared with visitors worldwide, and serves as an inspiration for this site. For one of the true purposes to studying the Holocaust is to truly put hate on hold.
