Zemach Shabad (1864-1935) was a Jewish physician and public figure, born in Vilnius, the founder of various organizations that assisted refugees after World War I. Throughout his life, he paid particular attention to impoverished children and orphans and treated, free of charge, Jews and Christians alike. The Russian children's author Korney Chukovsky based the character of the animal doctor Doctor Aybolit on Shabad.
