Abraham Salomon Glück, (5 November 1914 – c. 20 May 1944), was a French physician and a member of the French Resistance.
His father was a direct descendant of Hasidic Masters, going back to the Magid Dov Ber of Mezeritch (1704–1772), the disciple and successor of the Baal Shem Tov (1698–1760), the founder of Hasidism.
He had three sisters, Antoinette Feuerwerker (1912-2003), Hendel (Hedwig, Heidi) Naftalis (1913-?) and Rose Warfman (1916-2016). His parents had moved from Tarnów in Galicia, Poland, to Belgium, then to Switzerland, during World War I.
The family moved further to Germany, and finally to France in 1921, settling in Strasbourg.
Gluck started High School at Lycée Fustel de Coulanges, located next to the Cathedral and he finished High School at the Lycée Kléber, closer to home, since the family had moved, and then went on to complete his medical studies at the Université de Strasbourg.
When World War II broke out, he had been in London, since 1938, doing an internship. Deciding to go back to France, he joined the French Army on 16 September 1939 and he was sent to the front, on the Maginot Line, as a second lieutenant, from 1939-40. As an officer, he was taken as a prisoner at Oflag XII-B (Offizierlager) located in the Citadel of Mainz (Zitadelle Mainz), Germany, and recovered his freedom in 1941. Upon his release he received the Croix de Guerre 39-40.
