Gisella Perl: I Was A Doctor in Auschwitz


Remember the Women Institute is thrilled to announce that we are co-producing a forthcoming film, Gisella Perl: I Was A Doctor in Auschwitz, with distinguished filmmaker Rosemarie Reed and her On the Road Productions. It will highlight the extraordinary life of Dr. Gisella Perl, a Jewish physician sent to Auschwitz in 1944. She was ordered to work in a camp hospital for the notorious Dr. Joseph Mengele, and she used her position and her skill to save hundreds of female prisoners’ lives.
