Ady Steg
French physician
Adolphe Steg (27 January 1925 – 11 April 2021) was a Czechoslovak-born French urologist and Holocaust survivor.
Early life
Steg was born on 27 January 1925 in Czechoslovakia into a family of Orthodox Jews. His father, Mordechai Steg, born on 19 April 1895 in Bistra, Austria-Hungary, took his family to Paris in 1928. Mordechai had three children with his wife, Feige: Adolphe, Bitia, and Rachel. The family settled in the 12th arrondissement. He went to primary school at the École élémentaire des Hospitalières-Saint-Gervais and secondary school at the Lycée Voltaire.
Steg's father, Mordechai, who had gone by the name of Martin to avoid identification as a Jew, was interned at the Beaune-la-Rolande internment camp. He was then subsequently deported to Auschwitz as part of Convoy No. 5 on 28 June 1942.
Martin survived deportation and later returned to Paris.

Why this record matters
The phrase “french physician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
