Jasińska Julianna

Jasińska-Larycz, Julianna With the outbreak of war, Julianna Jasińska-Larycz, an inhabitant of Warsaw, came to the aid of her Jewish friends, and after the establishment of the ghetto, undertook increasingly daring operations. The first to benefit from her help were the three members of the Błachowicz family, friends of hers, whom she smuggled out of the ghetto and put up in her humble abode. At great personal risk, Jasińska-Larycz also sheltered Maria Hazenberg, as well as Bluma Goldstein and her baby son, Stanisław. After providing them with “Aryan” documents, she rented a hiding place for them, which she paid for out of her own pocket. In risking her life to save Jewish refugees, Jasińska-Larycz was guided by a profound love of mankind, which sprang from her religious faith. Each day, she prayed that she would be granted enough time to “save the persecuted.” After the war, the Błachowiczes immigrated to Israel where Jasińska-Larycz came to visit them in 1967. On April 4, 1967, Yad Vashem recognized Juliana Jasińska-Larycz as a Righteous Among the Nations.
