The Eichmann Trial constituted a turning point in the collective consciousness of Israeli society and its treatment of the Holocaust and of Holocaust survivors. From an anonymous, unfathomable and incomprehensible on a personal level topic, it was personalized into the testimonies and personal stories of survivors who only then been understood and penetrated consciousness. In the design of the memory of medicine during the Holocaust, as part of the design of the Holocaust's memory in general, are unique ethical, medical and social aspects. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of Holocaust surviving doctors in shaping the memory of medicine during the Holocaust.The surviving doctors were not silent. They have worked extensively in shaping the memory of medicine during the Holocaust, and they have a crucial role in shaping memory of medicine during the Holocaust in Israeli society.Holocaust surviving doctors delivered their memories in writing and orally, first in medical journals and in front of a physician audience. Gradually their circle of communication channels expanded, especially after the Eichmann trial. The memory of medicine during the Holocaust has always been on the public agenda, even if only several actions were taken. In October 1955, the Holocaust Surviving Doctors' Association was established, but the number of its members was limited and it was active for only seven years. From the 1990s onwards, we have witnessed an increase in organized activity to shape the memory of the Holocaust.
