Dawid Wdowiński was a psychoanalist and doctor of neurology. He was a member of the right-wing Jewish organization Hatzohar and one of commanders of the Żydowski Związek Wojskowy (ŻZW: Jewish Military Union), during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Before World War II he was a chairman of Polska Partia Syjonistyczna.
Together with many Jews in the Polish Army and the Polish-Jewish political leaders (Dawid Apfelbaum, Józef Celmajster, Henryk Lifszyc, Kałmen Mendelson, Paweł Frenkel, and Leon Rodl), he founded the ŻZW. After the deaths of Dawid Apfelbaum, Paweł Frenkel, and Leon Rodl, he was probably the last commander of the uprising and one of only two (the other one being Marek Edelman from ŻOB) to survive the war.
In 1963 in New York City he published the book And we are not saved [1] and told his part of the story about the ŻZW and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
