Louis Washkansky was a Lithuanian Jew who underwent the world's first human heart transplant on December 3, 1967. He immigrated to South Africa with his family in 1922 and worked as a vegetable trader in Cape Town. Washkansky served in World War II in Eastern and Northern Africa as well as Italy. An avid sportsman, he participated in soccer, swimming, and weightlifting. His health declined later in life due to diabetes and severe heart failure, culminating in three heart attacks before his transplant, which sadly led to his death from pneumonia eighteen days later.
