Gerula Michał & Katarzyna (Błońska)

Gerula, Michał-Kajetan Gerula, Katarzyna On the night of December 31, 1943, members of the Gestapo, accompanied by special police dogs, burst into the farmyard of Michał-Kajetan and Katarzyna Gerula, who lived with their four children in the village of Lodzinka Gorna, in the Lwow district. After discovering a hiding place on the farm where three local Jews were hiding, the Germans shot all three to death, and took away the Gerulas, leaving their children behind. Michal-Kajetan Gerula was hanged, and a notice put up in the village stating that he had been executed for sheltering Jews while his wife, Katarzyna, was sent to a concentration camp, from which she never returned. On April 25, 1995, Yad Vashem recognized Katarzyna and Michał Kajetan Gerula as Righteous Among the Nations. File 6576
