Benedykt Ziemilski (October 2, 1892 – 1942) was a Polish physician and researcher. He was the father of Polish sociologist, writer, journalist, and mountaineer Andrzej Ziemilski. He was murdered by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust in 1942 in the Majdanek concentration camp. His Jewish identity, and reason for his murder, were only discovered by his family in recent years.[1]
In 2021, Ziemilski was honored by International March of the Living for his contributions to medicine during its program “Medicine and Morality: Lessons from the Holocaust”. The 2021 initiative recognized medical professionals who opposed the Nazis, as well as those who worked to combat the COVID-19 Pandemic.[2][3][4][5]
