NEW YORK The World Jewish Congress deeply mourns the passing of Dr. Adolphe (Ady) Steg, who was born in Verecky, Czechoslovakia, in 1925 and raised in France. Upon completion of his medical studies, Dr. Steg became a surgeon and professor of urological surgery in Paris.
In addition to a meaningful career in medicine, Dr. Steg worked tirelessly on behalf of many Jewish organizations, first as president of the Union of Jewish Students in Paris (1948) and vice president of the World Union of Jewish Students (1949), later going on to become a leading member of the Fonds Social Juif Unifie, the Consistoire, and the Alliance Israélite Universelle.
