The Bersohn and Bauman Hospital in Warsaw

The construction of the children's hospital located between Śliska and Sienna Streets took place between 1876 and 1878. This facility was established through the generosity of two notable Jewish families—the Bersohns and the Baumans, both known for their industrial and philanthropic contributions. By November 1940, the hospital found itself within the confines of Warsaw's so-called small ghetto and continued its operations until the mass deportations known as the Great Action in 1942. During the Warsaw Uprising, it served as a field hospital for the AK Chrobry II Grouping.

The hospital was home to several prominent medical professionals, including Henryk Goldszmidt, better known as Janusz Korczak, who worked there from 1905 to 1912. The role of chief physician was held by notable figures such as Ludwik Chwat (1878-1881), Szymon Portner (1881-1910), Adolf Poznański (1911-1923), and Anna Braude-Hellerowa (1930-1942). During WWII, Marek Edelman, who later became a prominent figure, was also associated with the facility, serving as a messenger. Post-war, the building continued functioning as a hospital, housing a ward for children's infectious diseases until recently. On October 19, 2018, ownership of the building was transferred to the Warsaw Ghetto Museum.
