Filip Eisenberg

Filip Pinkus Eisenberg (July 19, 1876 – August 18, 1942) was a Polish-Jewish doctor and bacteriologist.

He then conducted postgraduate work in Vienna with Richard Paltauf and between 1901 and 1902 served as a research assistant to Odo Bujwid.

Subsequently he worked in Paris, at the Pasteur Institute and then in Wrocław (Breslau) under the direction of Richard Pfeiffer.

During the Nazi occupation of Poland, Eisenberg was in constant danger because of his Jewish background.

The Polish bacteriologist Rudolf Weigl sought to protect Eisenberg by offering him a position as a feeder of lice at his institute in Lwów.
