#13 Dr. Eduard Bloch – Adolf Hitler’s Childhood Doctor

Dr. Eduard Bloch was a humble yet compassionate physician practicing in Linz, Austria, during Adolf Hitler’s youth. As the family doctor to the Hitlers, Bloch cared for young Adolf and his siblings, notably providing dedicated care during the illness of Hitler’s beloved mother, Klara.

Despite the turbulent times and Hitler’s later infamy, Dr. Bloch—who was Jewish—was remembered by Hitler with unusual respect and gratitude, a rare exception.
