Abstract
Izrael Milejkowski, dermatologist and venerologist, and his research team conducted
research starvation in the ghetto. The patients were taken to hospital wards, where
they were monitored and subjected to various medical procedures. In meetings of the
research team, the physicians reported their observations. This led to a series of
medical papers that included descriptions of changes in diseases of hunger – starvation,
anatomy, biochemistry, skin, cardiovascular, ocular, and blood morphology. We describe
this unique study in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII.
