Holocaust survivor - Breve biografia
- Adina Blady Szwajger was born to a Jewish family in Warsaw, Poland. She was a 22-year-old medical student at the University of Warsaw when the Germans invaded her country in World War II. Her husband Stefan Szpigielman, a law student, was killed by the Nazis. She joined the staff of the Warsaw Children's Hospital and struggled to save lives there until the final days of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, when she escaped with false identity papers and served as a courier for the Jewish Resistance. She survived the war and became a pediatrician in Łódź. She kept the most haunting episodes of the war a secret for decades, until after her retirement. She then wrote a painfully honest memoir, which was circulated by the Solidarity underground magazine and then published in English as I Remember Nothing More (1990). Dr. Szwajger remarried to Wladyslaw Swidowski, with whom she had two daughters.
