The Education of a Polish Jew: A Physician’s War Memoirs, by Haskell Nordon, is a firsthand account of survival, moral courage, and professional duty during one of history’s darkest chapters.
Nordon, a Polish physician, recounts his escape from Nazi-occupied Poland and his pivotal role in the rescue of the “Teheran Children,” leading orphaned Jewish youths to safety in Palestine. Through the lens of both healer and witness, he offers a compelling narrative that intertwines personal memory with historical testimony, shedding light on the resilience of the human spirit and the responsibilities carried by those in positions of care during war.
