18 April 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alina Margolis-Edelman, a resident of Łódź, medical doctor and social activist. During World War II, she was a prisoner of the Warsaw ghetto, and later a nurse in the Warsaw Uprising.
Alina devoted all her adult life to work for the benefit of others, mainly children. She established the first centre for diabetic children in Poland. After forced emigration as a result of the March ’68 events, she got involved in the activities of international charity organisations: Doctors Without Borders and Doctors of the World.
