Anna Braude Heller

Anna Braude Heller (or Hellerowa; 6 January 1888 – c. 19 April 1943) was a physician who worked in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.

She obtained her medical degree in Berlin in 1912 and continued her studies in St Petersburg, and went on to practise in Russia for a period of time before returning to Poland.

[2] Heller moved into the hospital, now part of Warsaw's Jewish ghetto, at the start of World War II.

Most of the doctors and nurses were sent to concentration camps; only a few (Teodozja Goliborska, Henryk Kroszczor, Rachela Kroszczorowa, and Adina Blady Szwajer) survived.

[4] After the Holocaust, a plaque commemorating Heller was raised at the Jewish cemetery at Okopowa Street, on the joint tombstone of her husband and younger son.
