The Jewish Hospital in Hamburg (German : Israelitisches Krankenhaus Hamburg) [1] is a Jewish medical institution in Hamburg, Germany. It is particularly renowned for its treatment of gastric and bowel cancer.
The Israelite Hospital of Hamburg opened in 1843. [1] The city council donated land in the St. Pauli suburb, and building costs were entirely funded by Salomon Heine, a local Jewish banker. [2] He made two stipulations regarding his 80,000 Mark donation: The hospital was to be named for his late wife Betty, who died in 1837; and a Personal lectern should be designated for him in the in-house synagogue. [3]
A poem by Heinrich Heine, the nephew of Salomon Heine, was dedicated to the Hospital following Salomon Heine's death, whose first verse is:
Ein Hospital für arme, kranke Juden,
Für Menschenkinder, welche dreifach elend,
Behaftet mit den bösen drei Gebresten,
Mit Armut, Körperschmerz und Judentume!
A hospital for Jews who’re sick and needy,
For those unhappy threefold sons of sorrow,
Afflicted by the three most dire misfortunes
Of poverty, disease, and Judaism.
(translation by Edgar Alfred Bowring [4] )

Israelitisches Familienblatt was a Jewish weekly newspaper, directed at Jewish readers of all religious alignments. Max Lessmann and Leo Lessmann founded the Familienblatt, which was published by the printing and publishing house Buchdruckerei und Verlagsanstalt Max Lessmann first in Hamburg, and then in Berlin (1935–1938). The Familienblatt was the only newspaper dealing with majorly Jewish issues in Germany which was run by a private business not aligned to a Jewish organisation of any kind.

Only by the first third of the 19th century did Berlin, Prussia's capital, overtake with Jews migrating from the former Polish provinces, which Prussia annexed in the Polish Partitions. Originally directed to readers in Hamburg's metropolitan area the Familienblatt gained more and more readers and spread nationwide in Germany. Israelitisches Familienblatt was prohibited to appear any further after the November Pogroms on 9–10 November 1938.
