## Resource

Berlin’s Jewish Hospital, founded in 1756 and miraculously surviving the Nazi era, became a chilling symbol of Jewish endurance—and complicity. Hidden in plain sight amid Nazi genocide, it hosted screening units, deported Jews, and even served as a final transit camp. Walter Lustig, its controversial director, navigated a deadly tightrope—some say he saved children, others accuse him of enabling deportations and abusing women. In the war’s final days, a heroic Jewish worker foiled an SS order to kill 180 people, saving them just before Soviet troops arrived to find hundreds trapped inside. The hospital’s survival wasn’t resistance—it was Nazi pragmatism. Lustig vanished after the war, likely executed, leaving behind a haunting legacy of survival, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity.
