Jadwiga Lenartowicz Rylko was a Polish Catholic physician imprisoned in the Nazi Concentration Camps during World War II. While incarcerated, she helped the Jewish people held captive in these Nazi camps by working as a camp doctor. She was a daughter of a feldsher (equivalent to a modern day physicians assistant), and watched her father's compassion and hard-work taking care of patients. During World War I, her father registered for the draft to fight for his country. For Poland, World War I was fierce. It left Poland rebuilding and its borders unknown. When Jadwiga's father came back from the war, he returned to his duties to care for his patients. Jadwiga worked through many hardships as woman pursuing a career, as most women were not going into specialty fields, other than learning domestic skills. The restructuring of Poland led to many changes in society; paving the way for Jadwiga to enter the medical field. She followed her father's footsteps, and began her medical training, although, she became a physician, not feldsher. During her time in medical school, she was characterized as fun and playful, but after her training, and during the rise in tension during World War II, she became mature and stern. World War II caused a shadow of tension in Poland; people scared, unsettled, and worried. Germany claimed most of Poland, and Lodz was under command of Germany. Jadwiga’s sisters would become imprisoned by Gestapo police due to their involvement in underground resistance. Over a year later, Jadwiga would also be arrested on suspicion of underground resistance. Without evidence of any association, she admitted to only listening to foreign radio broadcasts (illegal at the time), although in actuality, Jadwiga helped sick resistance soldiers, and helped her sister and friend escape imprisonment.
