Icon of person Eduard Bloch

Eduard Bloch (30 January 1872 – 1 June 1945) was an Austrian physician practicing in Linz. Born to a Jewish family of Czechoslovakian origin, Bloch was the family doctor of Adolf Hitler and his family until 1907. Bloch oversaw the treatment of Hitler's mother, Klara, when she was dying of breast cancer, charging the family very little, or none, for her treatment. Following the German annexation of Austria in 1938, Hitler described him as a Edeljude – a noble Jew, and bestowed him Geheime Staatspolizei protection in the midst of Kristallnacht and the escalation of anti-Jewish sentiment in Germany.
