Physician and Holocaust Survivor. Perl was born in what was Maramarossziget, Hungary, in 1907. She was the daughter of Rabbi Maurice Perl. Some of her other family members were Moshe Perl, Fanny Perl, David Perl, Cilla Perl, Rose Perl, and Helen Perl. She was the mother of Gabriella Krauss Blattman.
She was an Auschwitz survivor (Number 25404). As an obstetrician & gynecologist, she cared for thousands of women in Auschwitz without any medical supplies or equipment. She saved the lives of more than a thousand pregnant women by performing abortions before the women were discovered. (They would have been burned alive or tortured to death along with their fetuses by Dr. Mengale.) This was permissible under the Jewish faith because it was done to save the life of the mother.
After the Holocaust, she immigrated to America, where she worked as a gynecologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, starting as the only female physician in labor and delivery, and she became a specialist in infertility treatment. She became a US citizen in 1951. She was later reunited with her daughter, Gabriella, who also survived the Holocaust. In 1979, they moved to Israel.
She is remembered as the "Angel of Auschwitz"
