Year 2023 marked 120 years of the Lazarus Jewish Hospital in Lviv (Lwów/Lemberg).  This richly illustrated book is a tribute to its place in the once-vibrant Jewish  community of the city and in the society at large during the period 1903-1939.  Visionaries from Lviv  presents the hospital’s history and its fascinating architecture,  its doctors, and its founder, a prominent local Jewish philanthropist Maurycy  Lazarus, with the background of the Jewish life in Lviv.  The volume also details the history of medicine and medical education in Habsburg  Galicia prior to the hospital’s founding, Jewish access to the medical profession, and  the impact of Jewish doctors on the path to modernity. It also shows the struggle of  women to become doctors. A moving and timely book with contributions from  leading historians, scholars, and medical professionals,  Visionaries from Lviv  is an  ode to the once thriving Jewish community in Lviv and a testament to how one  person’s dream and commitment can impact the lives of so many.  This publication was made possible with support from Furthermore: a program of the J.  M. Kaplan Fund and Gesher Galicia.
