The Jewish Hospital memorial plaque
14 Mártírok Street

The Jewish Hospital – the only Jewish hospital in Hungary, was built between 1904 and 1906, opposite the Zemplén County Elizabeth Hospital. With 32 beds at the start, the hospital had a surgery, a department of obstetrics, a children’s hospital, and an X-ray department. It also had an excellent reputation owing to its superb physicians.
The mission of the hospital was to provide care for the Chevra Kaddisa Society (the so-called Holy Society, responsible for the deceased members of the Jewish community), but it also provided care for patients who belonged to other denominations.

The director was internal medicine specialist Dr. Sándor Zinner (1890–1964), who, upon returning from deportation, worked as head physician at the Elizabeth Hospital until his death.

The building of the Jewish Hospital was destroyed in the bombing of 1944.
