Year 2023 marked 120 years of the Lazarus Jewish Hospital in Lviv (Lw\u00F3w/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\u2019s 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. \nThe volume also details the history of medicine and medical education in Habsburg Galicia prior to the hospital\u2019s 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.
