Sosna Aleksander

Sosna, Aleksander After many vicissitudes, Yitzhak and Bela Horowitz and their son, Edward, found shelter in an apartment belonging to Wacław and Helena Miłowski*, in Czestochowa, where they hid until January 1945. After the Miłowskis let their friend, Aleksander Sosna, into the secret, Sosna, who knew the Horowitz family, visited them in their hiding place, and liaised between them and their Jewish acquaintances hiding in the area. Thanks to him, sums of money were transferred to the Horowiczes for their upkeep. The Horowitzes later maintained that this money had really been provided by Sosna who, anxious to spare them embarrassment, had claimed that it came from their friends. After the war, the survivors immigrated to Israel. On January 24, 1978, Yad Vashem recognized Aleksander Sosna as Righteous Among the Nations.
